Measuring left ventricular volumes in two-dimensional echocardiography image sequence using level-set method for automatic detection of end-diastole and end-systole frames

Abstract: Background:Identifying End-Diastole (ED) and End-Systole (ES) frames is highly important in the process of evaluating cardiac function and measuring global parameters accurately, such as Ejection Fraction (EF), Cardiac Output (CO) and Stroke Volume.Objectives:The current study aimed to develop a new method based on measuring volume changes in Left Ventricle (LV) during cardiac cycle.Material and Methods:For this purpose, the Level Set method was used both in detecting endocardium border and quantifying cardiac… Show more

“…Whereas ES frames are commonly defined by mitral valve opening, minimal LV volume, aortic valve closure, or the end of the ECG T-wave. However, due to subtle frame-on-frame spatial differences, and complex temporal relationships virtually invisible to the human eye, manual detection presents a significant barrier to consistent diagnosis due to intraand inter-observer variability lacking reproducibility and precision [4].…”

“…Accurate detection of the End-Distally (ED) and EndSystolic (ES) stages of a cardiac cycle is a significant factor that can affect the accuracy of abnormality assessment of a ventricle (Ostenfeld et al, 2012;Darvishi et al, 2012). This process is a routine step of the ventricle assessment procedures, where often, in clinical reports, many parameters can be measured in these two stages to help in diagnosing and decision making Barcaro et al (2008).…”

“…Several automatic ECG-free detection approaches have been already suggested. Most of them used echo [4,5,6,7,8,9,17] or CMR image sequences [13,19]. Early semi-automatic works [4,6,9] required either manual definition of landmarks, the ED frame or an initial contour.…”
