Abstract:Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach for segmentation of the infarct and peri-infarct tissue in the left ventricular wall of the heart. This paper is motivated by a recent finding that shows the infarct and peri-infarct zones to be independent predictors of post myocardial infarction. This paper proposes a method to segment the endocardial and epicardial contours of the left ventricle in the presence of the enhanced infarct and peri-infarct tissues. A level set method using shape priors, obtained fro… Show more
