Whole myocardium tracking in 2D-echocardiography in multiple orientations using a motion constrained level-set
We present a method to track the myocardium in 2D US sequences in any orientation. We constrain the evolving contour to satisfy a level conservation hypothesis. Robustness is obtained by adjusting the hyperparameters in an adaptive way. Comparison is made with experts references from 900 images of clinical interest. A complete study on the influence of the parameters settings is carried out.
