Abstract
This paper proposes a system to automatically segment the left ventricle in cardiac MR cine images. Individual frames are segmented using a shortest path algorithm and temporal consistency is enforced through the backward and forward deformation fields of an inverse consistent deformable registration. In addition, a segmentation of the mitral valve plane is obtained from long axis images. This algorithm was applied to 95 datasets as part of the STACOM’11 4D LV Segmentation Challenge. We analyze the results and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of our system.
