OBJECTIVES: This paper aims at introducing a novel approach for segmentation of overlapping objects and at demonstrating its applicability to medical images. METHODS: This work details a novel approach enhancing the known theory of full-segmentation of an image into regions by lifting it to a semantic segmentation into objects...

01/2004 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerObjectives: This paper presents an efficient approach for extracting myocardial structures from given atrial and ventricular blood masses to enable non-invasive estimation of electrical excitation in human atria and ventricles. Methods: Based on given segmented atrial and ventricular blood masses, the approach constructs the myocardial structure directly, in the case that the myocardium can be detected in the volume data, or by using mean model information, in the case that the myocardium cannot be seen in the volume data due to image modalities or artefacts...
