Full-cycle left ventricular segmentation and tracking in 3D echocardiography using active appearance models
Marijn van Stralen, Alexander Haak, K. Y. Esther Leung, Gerard van Burken, Clemens Bos, Johan G. Bosch · 2015
Fully automatic segmentation of the left ventricle in 3D echocardiography is a challenging task due to its low contrastto-noise compared to other cardiac imaging modalities, its typical artifacts and the grainy appearance due to speckle.
