摘要
通过对MR图像左心室分割中各种主流方法的分析,提出一种自动分割MR图像左心室内外轮廓的算法.利用短轴图像上左心室心肌内外轮廓近似圆形的先验形状知识,先用Hough变换自动定位左心室的初始轮廓,然后在测地线轮廓模型基础上,结合K均值聚类提供的区域信息及心肌的生理结构约束对左心室的内外轮廓同时进行自动分割.实验结果表明,该算法能够有效地分割左心室内外轮廓.
We propose an approach to segment the epicardium and endocardium in cardiac image automatically. Based on the knowledge on the circle-like shape of epicardium and endocardium, we first use Hough transform to detect circles for initial contours of the left ventricle. Based on the geodesic active contour model by integrating K-means clustering to provide regional information and the anatomical constraints, we then segment both the epicardium and endocardium automatically, from the initial contour detected by Hough transform. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
