Image segmentation is the first step prior to any medical analysis. With the increase in modern disease variety, the images (specially cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images) to be segmented are found complex in nature. That might be due to noise, color geometry etc. Random walk method is proved to be good enough to this type of images. Simultaneously, it is robust noise and it does not require any...
According to the basic knowledge of the information theory, noise is known to hinder signal quality, and as the noise level increases the signal detection sensitivity decreases. Noise has a detrimental effect on tasks involving vigilance, memory and divided attention. Its effects vary depending on the nature of the noise (including volume, predictability and perceived control) and the type of task...
In today's world, increasing life expectation have made the heart failures of important concern. For clinical diagnosis, parameters for the condition of heart are needed. Accurate and fast image segmentation algorithms are of paramount importance prior to the calculation of these parameters. An automatic method for segmenting the cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images is always desired to increase...

Heart failures are of increasing importance due to increasing life expectation. For clinical diagnosis parameters for the condition of hearts are needed and can be derived automatically by image processing. Accurate and fast image segmentation algorithms are of paramount importance for a wide range of medical imaging applications. In this paper, we present a method using heat equation with variable...
Delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) can be used to identify myocardial infarct (MI). Classification of MI into the infarct core and heterogeneous periphery (called the gray zone) on conventional inversion-recovery gradient echo (IR-GRE) DE-MRI images has been related to inducibility for ventricular tachycardia. However, this classification is sensitive to image noise, depends on the signal intensity...
Heart failures are of increasing importance due to increasing life expectation. For clinical diagnosis parameters for the condition of hearts are needed and can be derived automatically by image processing. Accurate and fast image segmentation algorithms are of paramount importance for a wide range of medical imaging applications. Level set algorithms based on narrow band implementation have been...
The development of methods to accurately and reproducibly recover useful quantitative information from medical images is often hampered by uncertainties in handling the data related to: image acquisition parameters, the variability of normal human anatomy and physiology, the presence of disease or other abnormal conditions, and a variety of other factors. This talk will review image analysis strategies...
In this paper we propose an integrated cardiac segmentation and motion tracking algorithm. First, we present a subject-specific dynamical model (SSDM) that simultaneously handles inter-subject variability and temporal dynamics (intra-subject variability), such that it can progressively identify the subject vector associated with a new cardiac sequence, and use this subject vector to predict the subject-specific...
Segmentation and motion estimation from cardiac images are usually considered separately, yet they can obviously benefit from each other. In this paper, we propose a joint segmentation and motion estimation algorithm for the purposes of myocardial deformation analysis and strain estimation. We use segmentation as a guide for selecting feature points with significant shape characteristics, and invoke...
Automatic segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) from cardiac images remains an open problem. While current methods are already sufficient to outline endocardial (ENDO) surface automatically, these methods are problematic for finding reliable epicardial (EPI) surfaces. It is mainly due to the low myocardium/background contrast. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm that is motivated by the approximate...
