Title
Left ventricle segmentation in MRI via convex relaxed distribution matching.
Abstract
•We investigate fast detection of the left ventricle (LV) endo- and epicardium surfaces in cardiac MRI via convex relaxation and distribution matching.•Our algorithm requires only a single subject for training and a very simple user input, which amounts to a single point per target regions includng cavity or myocardium.•Our parallelized implementation on a graphics processing unit (GPU) demonstrates that the proposed algorithm requires about seconds for a typical cardiac MRI volume, a speed-up of about 5 times in comparison to a standard implementation.•We further demonstrate experimentally that (1) the performance of the algorithm is not significantly affected by the choice of the training subject; and (2) the shape description we use does not change significantly from one subject to another 1.
