Abstract
A new method for automated detection of the Left Ventricular (LV) region in Magnetic Resonance Imaging is presented. This method is based on the Fuzzy c-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm. The FCM is applied to each static frame of the cardiac cycle to detect the LV region. Delineation of this region is essential in the quantitative analysis of the cardiac function. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by application to sequences of cardiac images.
