We introduce a bio-inspired dynamic deformable (DET) model based on the equation of dynamics and including temporal smoothness constraints. The behaviour and characteristics of the dynamic DET model is studied in the context of the semi automatic spatio-temporal segmentation of the left ventricle myocardium in cine-MR images. The segmentation accuracy for endo/epicardium contours at end-diastole and end-systole, and as consequence the performance and limits of the current implementation, is evaluated in the context of the MICCAI LV Segmentation Challenge on a database of 15 multi-slice cine-MRI examinations.

Cardiac Image Segmentation

Segmentation of the left ventricle is important in assessment of cardiac functional parameters. Currently, manual segmentation is the gold standard for acquiring these parameters and can be time-consuming. Therefore, accuracy and automation are two important criteria in improving cardiac image segmentation methods. In this paper, we present a comprehensive approach that utilizes various features of cine MR images and combines multiple image processing methods including thresholding, edge detection, mathematical morphology, deformable model as well as image filtering. The segmentation is performed automatically with minimized interaction to optimize segmentation results. This approach provides cardiac radiologists a practical method for accurate segmentation of the left ventricle.

<abstract> <p>Delineation of the boundaries of the Left Ventricle (LV) in cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is a hot topic due to its important diagnostic power. In this paper, an approach is proposed to extract the LV in a sequence of MR images. In the proposed paper, all images in the sequence are segmented simultaneously and the shape of the LV in each image is supposed to be similar to that of the LV in nearby images in the sequence. We coined the novel shape similarity constraint, and it is called sequential shape similarity (SSS in short). The proposed segmentation method takes the Active Contour Model as the base model and our previously proposed Gradient Vector Convolution (GVC) external force is also adopted. With the SSS constraint, the snake contour can accurately delineate the LV boundaries. We evaluate our method on two cardiac MRI datasets and the Mean Absolute Distance (MAD) metric and the Hausdorff Distance (HD) metric demonstrate that the proposed approach has good performance on segmenting the boundaries of the LV.</p> </abstract>
