摘要

In this paper, an automatic method for segmentation of the left ventricle in two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography images of one cardiac cycle is proposed. In the first step of this method, using a mean image of a sequence of echocardiography images and its statistical properties the approximate region of left ventricle (LV) is extracted. Then the coordinate of extracted rectangular (ROI) is applied on all frames of sequences automatically. The mean image extracted ROI is used for defining the initial contour by scanning from the center point in polar coordinate. In the next step, all the extracted ROIs from the frames are mapped in a 2D space using the nonlinear dimension reduction manifold learning method. Using the properties of the manifold map end diastole (ED) and end systole (ES) frames are determined. Segmentation of the frames begins from ES frame, utilizing the dynamic directional vector field convolution (DDVFC) level set method with the initial contour as mentioned above. Final contour of each segmented frame is used as the initial contour of the next frame. Maximum range of the active contour motion is limited by a percent of the Euclidean distance between the point corresponds the current frame and the previous one in the resultant manifold. The results obtained from our method are quantitatively evaluated to those obtained by the gold contours drawn by a cardiologist on 489 echocardiographic images of seven volunteers using four distance measures: Hausdorff distance, average distance, area difference and area coverage error. We have also compared our results with the results of applying only DDVFC method. Comparing the implementation of only the DDVFC method, the results show final contours by proposed method are more close to contours drawn by a cardiologist.
