Three–Dimensional Segmentation of Ventricular Heart Chambers from Multi–Slice Computerized Tomography: An Hybrid Approach

摘要: This research is focused on segmentation of the heart ventricles from volumes Multi Slice Computerized Tomography (MSCT) image sequences. The performed in three–dimensional (3–D) space aiming at recovering topological features cavities. enhancement scheme based mathematical morphology operators and hybrid–linkage region growing technique are integrated into approach. Several clinical MSCT four dimensional (3–D + t) human used to test proposed For validating results, a comparison between shapes obtained using method ground truth manually traced by cardiologist performed. Results 3–D real data show capabilities approach for extracting ventricular cavities with necessary accuracy.
