Segmentation of Left Ventricle with a Coupled Length Regularization and Sparse Composite Shape Prior: a Variational Approach

Segmentation of left ventricles in Cine MR images plays an important role in analyzing cardiac functions. In this study, we propose a variational method that incorporates both prior knowledge on geometrical coupling and shapes of the endo- and epicardium. Specifically, we dynamically maintain and up...
