A new method for automated detection of the Left Ventricular (LV) region in Magnetic Resonance Imaging is presented. This method is based on the Fuzzy c-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm. The FCM is applied to each static frame of the cardiac cycle to detect the LV region. Delineation of this region is essential in the quantitative analysis of the cardiac function. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by application to sequences of cardiac images.
提出了一种在磁共振成像中自动检测左心室(LV)区域的新方法。该方法基于模糊c均值(FCM)聚类算法。将FCM应用于心动周期的每个静态帧以检测LV区域。在心脏功能的定量分析中,划定该区域至关重要。通过将该方法应用于心脏图像序列,证明了其有效性。
