Title
Fully-automatic left ventricular segmentation from long-axis cardiac cine MR scans.
Abstract
•A fully-automatic method for left ventricle segmentation from long-axis cine cardiac MR data is presented and extensively validated.•A combination of atlas-based and spatio-temporal registration approaches is used to accurately segment the left ventricle from cine MR sequence.•Usage of probabilistic tissue maps in the preprocessing step improves the multi-atlas-based segmentation accuracy.•Contour refinement steps that make use of local image intensity information further improves the segmentation accuracy.•Fully-automatic left ventricle segmentation from horizontal and vertical long-axis scans enables accurate and fast analysis of the cardiovascular function.
