Simultaneous level set interpolation and segmentation of short- and long-axis MRI
The use of long-axis images in cardiac MRI segmentation is essential in order to locate the valves and delineate the ventricles’ volume accurately. However, depending on the imaging protocol used, long-axis images do not always provide enough support for straightforward segmentation. We show that it is possible to use both short-axis and long-axis images for segmentation, even in cases where th...
متن کاملSemi-Automatic 4D Fuzzy Connectedness Segmentation of Heart Ventricles in Cine MRI
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 v...
متن کاملA review of segmentation methods in short axis cardiac MR images
For the last 15 years, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a reference examination for cardiac morphology, function and perfusion in humans. Yet, due to the characteristics of cardiac MR images and to the great variability of the images among patients, the problem of heart cavities segmentation in MRI is still open. This paper is a review of fully and semi-automated methods performing s...
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...
