Shape Statistics Variational Approach for the Outer Contour Segmentation of Left Ventricle MR Images.

Shape Statistics Variational Approach for the Outer Contour Segmentation of Left Ventricle MR Images.

Segmentation of left ventricles is one of the important research topics in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The segmentation precision influences the authenticity of ventricular motion reconstruction. In left ventricle MR images, the weak and broken boundary increases the difficulty of segme...
