Patients waiting for heart transplantation due to a failing heart can get a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implanted through open chest surgery. The device consists of a pump that pumps blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. To get the correct rotation speed of the pump, the physicians consider a number of measurements as well as a sequence of echocardiographic images. The important...
A novel automated framework for the segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) wall from contrast enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance images (CE-CMRI) is proposed. The framework consists of two main steps. First, the inner cavity of the LV is segmented from the surrounding tissues based on finding the Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimation of a new energy function using a graph-cuts-based optimization...
