Abstract

Accurate segmentation of the whole heart from 3D image sequences is an important step in the developement of clinical applications. As manual delineation is a tedious task that is prone to errors and dependant on the expertise of the observer, fully automated segmentation methods are highly desirable. In this work, we present a fully automated method for the segmentation of the whole heart and the great vessels from 3D images. The method is based on a muti-atlas propagation segmentation scheme, that has been proven to be succesful in brain segmentation. Based on a cross correlation metric, our method selects the best atlases for propagation allowing the refinement of the segmentation at each iteration of the propagation. We show that our method allows segmentation from multiple image modalities by validating it on computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance images (MRI). Our results are comparable to state-of-the-art methods on CTA and MRI with average Dice scores of 90.9% and 89.0% for the whole heart when evaluated on a 23 and 8 cases, respectively.
