Extraction Endocardium and Epicardium of Left Ventricle using Internal and External Energy Terms of Signed Distance Function in Cardiac MRI

Abstract

For clinical detection of cardiac function such as ejection fraction, end-systolic volume and end-diastolic volume used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Images). These functions were evaluated from experts manually or semi-automatically, they were time-consuming and tedious. This paper applies the automatic evolution of inner contour and outer contour on the MICCAI 2012 database of cardiac MRI. This paper gives optimistic results in terms of the boundary line and cross-section area of the epicardium and endocardium of the left ventricle. This paper will be useful for experts to quantify the endocardium and epicardium for Cardiac Vascular Diseases (CVD) type.
