Extended region growing algorithm for whole heart segmentation from cardiac MRI images (2019)

Abstract

We aimed to assess the reliability of an automatic solution for whole-heart segmentation of MRI images of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We propose a semi-interactive image segmentation algorithm based on region growing, GrowCut1, using novel neighborhood structures based on Cellular Automata. We complemented the algorithm with a global view of the signal using remote neighbors outside standard neighborhoods (Moore and Von Neumann). We validated the proposed semi-interactive algorithm on a clinical dataset from our AtFib study.
