Semi-Automatic 4D Fuzzy Connectedness Segmentation of Heart Ventricles in Cine MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
The volumes of the left and right cardiac ventricles are important indexes for several cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, a semiautomatic algorithm based on 4D fuzzy connectedness is proposed for segmenting the cardiac ventricles in arbitrarily oriented cardiac cine MR images. The segmentation of the left ventricle was evaluated using 45 short axis images and a visual assessment of right ventricle segmentation was performed.

Background: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) provides functional information on the microcirculation in tissues by analyzing the enhancement kinetics which can be used as biomarkers for prostate lesions detection and characterization.Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate spatiotemporal patterns of tumors by extracting semi-quantitative as well as w...
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 کاملAutomatic image-driven segmentation of the ventricles in cardiac cine MRI.
PURPOSE To propose and to evaluate a novel method for the automatic segmentation of the heart's two ventricles from dynamic ("cine") short-axis "steady state free precession" (SSFP) MR images. This segmentation task is of significant clinical importance. Previously published automated methods have various disadvantages for routine clinical use. MATERIALS AND METHODS The proposed method is pri...
متن کامل4D cardiac MRI in the mouse.
With the introduction of mouse models for the study of cardiac morphogenesis, there arises a need for new imaging protocols that can capture both morphological and functional information. High-resolution 2D cardiac cine MRI has often been used to quantify left and right ventricular function. In this study we propose a 3D isotropic cardiac cine MRI protocol with a voxel size of 200 microm(3) as ...
