Quantification of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Parameters by Endocardium Segmentation of 2d Echocardiography Images

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy has a risk of increasing the brevity of the population if left untreated. Quantitative aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy to field experts is very essential to classify the disease and proceed treatment. Endocardium segmentation of left and right ventricles is done through Local Chan Vese Model using Radial Charge Fitting Curve. This is followed by the quantification of parameters Left Ventricular End Diastolic Diameter, Intraventricular septum dimension and Posterior Wall Thickness to evaluate Left ventricle mass and Relative Wall Thickness. This evaluation is useful in classifying the cardiac disease Left Ventricular Hypertrophy as Concentric Hypertrophy, Concentric Remodeling, Eccentric Hypertrophy and no Hypertrophy. The segmentation results are obtained with minimal iterations and parameters quantification has 98.76% accuracy with that of expert’s report.
