Abstract

This study is based on the tracing of the left-ventricular endocardial borders of echocardiographic images. The algorithms used for border detection are the Active Contour Models (ACM) and also the one developed in the EchoPAC software. The mentioned algorithms were applied on apical two chamber view (A2C) in endsystole and end-diastole frames. The overlapping between borders detected using both algorithms is the goal of this work. The number of iterations and their parameters of the ACM were also taken into account.
