Introduction
- Ultrasound imaging system is a cardiac scaning modality with the highest temporal resolution.
- We want to measure the left ventricualr (LV) volume at each time to provide the quantitative parameters of clinical evaluation of cardiac function. For exmaple, 'volume stroke' or 'ejection fraction'.
- Automateic real-time segmentatino of LV is needed because manual tracing is tedius, time-consuming and impractical.
