Left Ventricular Functional Analysis through Model-Driven Object Labeling in Echocardiograms

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 in echocardiograms. This is utilized to provide a multiplicity of cardiac indexes, including left ventricular volume, ejection fraction, cardiac output and stroke volume. Validating experiments are performed on real patient data
