“…It is important to note that these two coefficients do not exceed 5% and 8% when analyzing the LV [61]. In fact, inter-expert variability has a major influence in interpreting the segmentation quality results as shown in Ammari et al work's [62]. For this reason, we wanted to compare our algorithm's output with two different manual segmentation held by two expert radiologists from Fattouma Bourguiba hospital.…”

This paper proposes an adapted ventricular segmentation method based on topological watershed transform. Segmentation will allow spatio-temporal modeling of trajectories of the different points belonging to the borders of the ventricle using a harmonic motion model that is able to describe such motion over the entire cardiac cycle. In addition, extraction of the adopted canonical state vector and the corresponding state equations guarantees an optimal efficacy and a gradual transition from order n to order n+1. To validate the proposed approach, an intern-image base was used. Our results show a promising ability to discern whether subjects are healthy or pathological with an 80% success rate.

“…A. Khalil et al [17] create a model that uses image synthesis as well as multi-fusion segmentation to segment all tri-cardiac components. Ammari, A et al [18] developed a customizable method for extracting and annotating informative slices, beginning with complete CMRI sequences. H. El-Rewaidy et al [19] present a work for modelling the RV surface utilizing various 2Dcontours, including information from various trans-sectional scans into the single set.…”
Precise localization and quantitative analysis of the right ventricle from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) images is imperative for assessing cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular mal-functionalities. Due to its poorly defined borders, precise contouring of the RV in CMRI images continues to be difficult. An approach for contouring the right ventricle based on a hierarchical intensity-based clustering method followed by Markov random field is proposed in this paper to overcome this difficulty.Because our method offers localization for each time step, it enables comprehensive right ventricle analysis during the whole cardiac-cycle. It also allows automatic prediction systems of volumetric parameters such as end systole and end diastolestages.48 human participants' cardiac MRI scans were used to validate the method. The presented scheme yielded significantly less variance than (approximately one half) compared to the reference standard of manually determined RV contours by clinical experts. This approach obtained mean Dice-Coefficient and Haussdorff-Distance of 0.92 and 5.25 mm 0.94 and 5.68 mm on the validation and tests. Further the results are evaluated using diagnosis metrics such as end diastole volume, end systole volume, and ejection fraction. Our model heading towards accurate RV localization at endocardium borders in cardiac MRI.
