Extraction of the Left Ventricle (LV) contours is essential in the quantitative analysis of cardiac function. We present a new method that employs Fuzzy Isodat . a (FI) and conne . ctcd compo nents Labeling algorithms to automatically detect the LV contours. The FI algorithm is applied to each cardiac image to generate a given number of fuzzy subsets. Each heart's substructure ,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
