A fast fully automatic segmentation of the myocardium in 2D MR images KU Leuven
A novel automatic initialization procedure for left ventricle (LV) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) segmentation is proposed through the combination of a LV localization method based on multilevel Otsu thresholding and an elliptical annular template matching algorithm. We then propose to adapt the recent B-spline Explicit Active Surfaces (BEAS) framework to the properties of CMR images by integrating two dedicated energy terms: a weighted ...
