Border Detection on Short Axis Echocardiographic Views Using a Region Based Ellipse-Driven Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a robust technique that integrates spatial and temporal information for consistent recovery of the endocardium. To account for the low image quality we introduce a local variant of the Mumford-Shah that is coupled with a model of limited parameters to describe the ventricle, namely an ellipse. The objective function is defined on the implicit space of ellipses, separates locally the blood pool from the heart wall and explores geometric constraints on the deformations of the endocardium to impose temporal consistency. Promising experimental results demonstrate the potentials of our method.

Measurement of Left Ventricular Myocardium Wall Instantaneous Motions with Echocardiographic Sequence Images
Background & Aims: One of the important aims of quantitative cardiac image processing is the clarification of myocardial motions in order to derive biomechanical behavior of the heart in the disease condition. In this study we presented a computerized analysis method for detecting the instantaneous myocardial changes by using 2D echocardiography images. Methods: The analysis was performed on th...
متن کاملDetermining heart parameters through left ventricular automatic segmentation for heart disease diagnosis
Segmentation of the left ventricle in echocardiographic images is a task with important diagnostic power. This paper describes a method for the calculation of the ventricle’s contours in longand short-axis views. The segmentation process starts with a complex border detection process, followed by the application of a generalized Hough transform to detect curves and ended up through an active-co...

The Elderly health is an important and noticeable issue; since these people are priceless resources of experience in the society. Elderly adults are more likely to be severely injured or to die following falls. Hence, fast detection of such incidents may even lead to saving the life of the injured person. Several techniques have been proposed lately for the fall detection of people, mostly cate...
متن کاملModeling of Echocardiogram Video Based on Views and States
In this work we propose a hierarchical state-based model for representing an echocardiogram video using objects present and their dynamic behavior. The modeling is done on the basis of the different types of views like short axis view, long axis view, apical view, etc. For view classification, an artificial neural network is trained with the histogram of a ‘region of interest’ of each video fra...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of myocardial infarction: comparison of a rat model in two strains
The purpose of this study was to induce myocardial infarction (MI) and compare the echocardiographic parameters and mortality ratio of Lewis inbred and Wistar outbred strain before and after the procedure to help choose the best one for MI studies. In this study MI was induced in 46 Lewis and 34 Wistar by occlusion of left anterior descending artery (LAD). Doppler, two-dimensional (2-D) and 2-D...
