This study investigates a fully automatic left ventricle segmentation method from cine short axis MR images. Advantages of this method include that it: 1) is image-driven and does not require manually drawn initial contours. 2) provides not only endocardial and epicardial contours, but also papillary muscles and trabeculations’ contours; 3) introduces a roundness measure that is fast and automatically locates the left ventricle; 4) simplifies the epicardial contour segmentation by mapping the pixels from Cartesian to approximately polar coordinates; and 5) applies a fast Fourier transform to smooth the endocardial and epicardial contours. Quantitative evaluation was performed on the 15 subjects of the MICCAI 2009 Cardiac MR Left Ventricle Segmentation hallenge. The average perpendicular distance between manually drawn and automatically selected contours over all slices, all studies, and two phases (end-diastole and end-systole) was 2.07 0.61 mm for endocardial and 1.91 0.63 mm for epicardial contours. These results indicate a promising method for automatic segmentation of left ventricle for clinical use.

Based on the VGG19-fully convolutional network (FCN) (VGG19-FCN) and U-Net model in the deep learning algorithms, the left ventricle in the ultrasonic cardiogram was segmented automatically. In addition, this study evaluated the value of ultrasonic cardiogram features after segmentation by the optimized algorithm in diagnosing patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and angina pectorisody; patients with arrhythmia; and pa. In this study, 30 patients with confirmed CHD and 30 normal people without CHD from the same hospital in a certain area were selected as the research objects. Firstly, the VGG19-FCN and U-Net model algorithms were selected to automatically segment the left ventricular part of the apical four-chamber static image, which was realized through the weights of the fine-tune basic model algorithm. Subsequently, the experimental subjects were divided into a normal group and a CHD group, and the data were obtained through the ultrasonic cardiogram feature analysis of automatic segmentation by the algorithm. The differences in the ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular fractional shortening (FS), and E/A values (in early and late of the diastolic phase) of the left ventricle for patients in the two groups were compared. In addition, the ultrasonic cardiogram left ventricular segmentation results of normal people and patients with CHD were compared. A comprehensive analysis suggested that the U-Net model was more suitable for the practical application of automatic ultrasonic cardiogram segmentation. According to the analyzed data results, the global systolic function parameters (EF, FS, and E/A values) of the left ventricle for patients showed statistically obvious differences ( P < 0.05 ). In summary, deep learning algorithms can effectively improve the efficiency of ultrasonic cardiogram left ventricular segmentation, show a great role in the diagnosis of CHD patients, and provide a reliable theoretical basis and foundation research on the subsequent CHD imaging diagnosis. The comprehensive analysis showed that the U-Net model was more suitable for the practical application of echocardiographic automatic segmentation, and this study can effectively improve the efficiency of echocardiographic left ventricular segmentation, which played an important role in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, providing a reliable theoretical basis and foundation for subsequent CHD imaging research.
