Left Ventricle Tracking in Isotopic Ventriculography Using Statistical Deformable Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
The left ventricle tracking in planar scintigraphic images is an important step to study the coronary state. However, it is not as simple as we thought, because of the bad quality of these images. The study of the related work showed that classic methods based on low level image characteristics failed to localize the ventricle. In this paper, we suggest using a method based on a priori knowledge. Assuming that the human heart can appear in different images as one of a variety of possible shapes, we can incorporate the shape and the texture to delineate the boundaries of the left ventricle.

Real-Time Tracking of the Left Ventricle in 3D Echocardiography Using a State Estimation Approach
In this paper we present a framework for real-time tracking of deformable contours in volumetric datasets. The framework supports composite deformation models, controlled by parameters for contour shape in addition to global pose. Tracking is performed in a sequential state estimation fashion, using an extended Kalman filter, with measurement processing in information space to effectively predi...

متن کاملAnalyzing the deformation of the left ventricle of the heart with a parametric deformable model
We present a new approach to analyze the deformation of the left ventricle of the heart, based on a parametric model that gives a compact representation of a set of points in a 3D image. We present four di erent approaches to tracking surfaces in a sequence of 3D cardiac images. Following tracking, we then infer quantitative parameters which are useful for the physician, such as the variation o...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Endocardium Tracking by Fusion of Biomechanical and Deformable Models
This paper presents a framework for tracking left ventricular (LV) endocardium through 2D echocardiography image sequence. The framework is based on fusion of biomechanical (BM) model of the heart with the parametric deformable model. The BM model constitutive equation consists of passive and active strain energy functions. The deformations of the LV are obtained by solving the constitutive equ...
