Left Ventricle Segmentation in Cardiac MR Images Using Fully Convolutional Network
Abstract
Medical image analysis, especially segmenting a specific organ, has an important role in developing clinical decision support systems. In cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, segmenting the left and right ventricles helps physicians diagnose different heart abnormalities. There are challenges for this task, including the intensity and shape similarity between the left ventricle and other organs, inaccurate boundaries, and presence of noise …
