Left Ventricle Segmentation Using Active Contour Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study is based on the tracing of the left-ventricular endocardial borders of echocardiographic images. The algorithms used for border detection are the Active Contour Models (ACM) and also the one developed in the EchoPAC software. The mentioned algorithms were applied on apical two chamber view (A2C) in endsystole and end-diastole frames. The overlapping between borders detected using both algorithms is the goal of this work. The number of iterations and their parameters of the ACM were also taken into account.

The stochastic active contour scheme (STACS) is a well-known and frequently-used approach for segmentation of the endocardium boundary in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. However, it suffers significant difficulties with image inhomogeneity due to using a region-based term based on the global Gaussian probability density functions of the innerouter regions of the active ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricle Volume Measurement on Short Axis MRI Images Using a Combined Region Growing and Superellipse Fitting Method
Segmentation and volume measurement of the cardiac ventricles is an important issue in cardiac disease diagnosis and function assessment. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) is the current reference standard for the assessment of both left and right ventricular volumes and mass. Several methods have been proposed for segmentation and measurement of cardiac volumes like deformable models, ...
متن کاملOptimal Geodesic Active Contours: Application to Heart Segmentation
We develop a semiautomated segmentation method to assist in the analysis of functional pathologies of the left ventricle of the heart. The segmentation is performed using an optimal geodesic active contour with minimal structural knowledge to choose the most likely surfaces of the myocardium. The use of an optimal segmentation algorithm avoids the problems of contour leakage and false minima as...
متن کاملConstraining Contour Deformations Using Statistical A Priori Knowledge of Shape Without Requiring Point-to-Point Correspondence
In this paper we present a method for constraining the deformations of active contour models during image segmentation in a way that is consistent with a previously delineated training set of example images. The training examples are carefully traced with complete or semimanual supervision without the need for pointto-point correspondence. Then frequency domain shape descriptors (in particular,...
متن کاملSegmenting the Left Ventricle in 3D Using a Coupled ASM and a Learned Non-Rigid Spatial Model
This paper presents a new approach to higher dimensional segmentation. We present an extended Active Shape Model (ASM) formulation for the segmentation of multi-contour anatomical structures. We employ coupling and weighting schemes to improve the robustness of ASM segmentation. 3D segmentation is achieved through propagation of a 2D ASM using a learned non-rigid spatial model. This approach do...
متن کاملSegmentation of the Left Ventricle in SPECT by an Active Surface
We present a method for the semi-automatic, model-driven segmentation of the Left Ventricle (LV) in cardiac SPECT data. Accurate segmentation of the LV allows computation of quantities that describe the degree of a perfusion defect. A 3D surface is initialised in the dataset and deforms to fit the shape of the LV. The model is chosen from a small number of prototypes. The behaviour of the dynam...
