Abstract

This article presents a fully automatic left ventricle (LV) segmentation method on MR images by means of an implicit deformable model (Level Set) in a variational context. For these parametrizations, the degrees of freedom are: initialization and functional energy. The first is often delegated to the practician. To avoid this human intervention, we present an automatic initialisation method based on the Hough transform exploiting spatio-temporal information. Generally, energetic functionals integrate edges, regions and shape terms. We propose to bundle an edge-based energy computed by feature asymmetry on the monogenic signal, a regionbased energy capitalizing on image statistics (Weibull model) and a shape-based energy constrained by the myocardium thickness. The presence of multiple tissues implies data non-stationarity. To best estimate distribution parameters over the regions and regarding anatomy, we propose a deformable model maximizing locally and globally the log-likelihood. Finally, we evaluate our method on MICCAI 09 Challenge data.
