Abstract :
Cardiac cavity labeling is crucial for the detection of heart abnormalities and estimation of numerous heart indexes. A deformable model-based splitting technique is presented that improves on our segmentation algorithm and provides labeling of cardiac chambers. Experiments show that the presented work provides accuracy as well as versatility.
