Project Description
Objective
- Develop a semi-automatic segmentation algorithm for cardiac MR images of patients with congenital heart defects.
- Goal is to build a surface model showing the endocardial and epicardial boundaries, for surgical planning.
- Challenges:
- Very large inter-subject variability due to heart defects
- Intensity inhomogeneities within myocardium and blood pool
- Similar intensity distributions within adjacent tissues (e.g. liver, chest muscle)
