Original Abstract

This research demonstrates a completely automated subsecond fast technique for left ventricle (LV) segmentation from clinical cardiac MRI images for the crucial assessment of left ventricular dysfunction as a measure of cardiac diseases. In this work left ventricle segmentation is achieved using the combination of fuzzy c-means which is a pixel based classification method and connected component labeling. This strategic combination obviates user intervention and problem of seed point initialization as it automatically segments the LV accurately on all frames in the complete cardiac cycle in multi-frame MRI. The both methods complement each other such that it achieves sub-second fast computational speed of 0.7 seconds on average per frame. Thus this technique’s computational time for left ventricle segmentation is much faster than iteration based methods. The accuracy of the automatic segmentation technique was tested against manual segmentation on the basis of correlation coefficient. can be considered clinically significant.
