Abstract

A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardlogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator.

기하학적인 모델을 이용한 좌심실에 대한 단축 2D 심초음파도에서의 심내벽 윤관석의 완전 자동검출방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 3단계의 과정에 걸쳐 수행된다. 첫번째 단계는 부표본화된 영상에 초기 중심 추정 알고리듬을 적용하여 초기 중심을 추정한다. 두번째 단계에서는 원 영상에 중심추성 알고리듬을 적용하여 정확한 중심과 타원추정에 필요한 정보를 구한다음, 심내벽에 근사하는 타원모델을 추정한다. 세번째 단계는 추정한 타원모델에 근거한 코스트 함수로서 심내벽 윤관석을 검출한다. 제안된 방법을 조작자의 수동적인 개입없이도 효과적인 결과를 보여준다.
