Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause 31% of the death rate globally. Automatic accurate segmentation is needed for CVDs early detection. In this paper, we study the effect of the registration and initialization of the level set segmentation on the performance of extracting the heart ventricles for the short axis cardiac perfusion MRI images, as a result, we propose a modified workflow to automatically segment the ventricles by mitigating the levelset initial contour extraction in order to improve the segmentation results accuracy. In the registration experiments, the translational transformation was studied based on both the spatial and frequency domain. The frequency domain based registration is mainly established based on the phase correlation methodology. As for the segmentation experiments, the level set initialization was done through extracting the ventricles’ real shape from each slice. Though, the final contour of any frame will be used as the initial contour for the next frame. The second initialization strategy was based on defining the initial contour for each frame using the polar representation of the image. Two short axis view datasets of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion imaging were used in testing the proposed methods. Dice coefficient, sensitivity, specificity and Hausdorff distance have been used to evaluate and validate the segmentation results. The system workflow consists of five main modules: preprocessing, localization, initial contour extraction, registration, and segmentation. The segmentation accuracy for left and right ventricles improved from 72% to 77% and from 70% to 81% using the spatial domain based registration algorithm. The polar-based initialization strategy improves the segmentation accuracy from 77% to 81% and from 81% to 82% for the left and right ventricles respectively.
