Segmentation Integrating Texture and Shape A Priori Applied to Cardiac MR Images
Résumé
Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death worldwide. Early and accurate diagnosis
of cardiovascular diseases plays an important role in improving life of population afflicted heart
diseases. Delayed Enhencement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DE-MRI) is a highly valuable
but non-specific imaging technique that is ancillary in the diagnosis of a variety of myocardial
diseases. This papper presents a novel segmentation technique of DE-MRI based on watershed
and region growing algorithm with application of myocardium shape.
