Segmentação semiautomática de conjuntos completos de imagens do ventrículo esquerdo / Semiautomatic segmentation of left ventricle in full sets of cardiac images

Torres, Rafael Siqueira 05 April 2017 (has links)
A área médica tem se beneficiado das ferramentas construídas pela Computação e, ao mesmo tempo, tem impulsionado o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas em diversas especialidades da Computação. Dentre estas técnicas a segmentação tem como objetivo separar em uma imagem objetos de interesse, podendo chamar a atenção do profissional de saúde para áreas de relevância ao diagnóstico. Além disso, os resultados da segmentação podem ser utilizados para a reconstrução de modelos tridimensionais, que podem ter características extraídas que auxiliem o médico em tomadas de decisão. No entanto, a segmentação de imagens médicas ainda é um desafio, por ser extremamente dependente da aplicação e das estruturas de interesse presentes na imagem. Esta dissertação apresenta uma técnica de segmentação semiautomática do endocárdio do ventrículo esquerdo em conjuntos de imagens cardíacas de Ressonância Magnética Nuclear. A principal contribuição é a segmentação considerando todas as imagens provenientes de um exame, por meio da propagação dos resultados obtidos em imagens anteriormente processadas. Os resultados da segmentação são avaliados usando-se métricas objetivas como overlap, entre outras, comparando com imagens fornecidas por especialistas na área de Cardiologia / The medical field has been benefited from the tools built by Computing and has promote the development of new techniques in diverse Computer specialties. Among these techniques, the segmentation aims to divide an image into interest objects, leading the attention of the specialist to areas that are relevant in diagnosys. In addition, segmentation results can be used for the reconstruction of three-dimensional models, which may have extracted features that assist the physician in decision making. However, the segmentation of medical images is still a challenge because it is extremely dependent on the application and structures of interest present in the image. This dissertation presents a semiautomatic segmentation technique of the left ventricular endocardium in sets of cardiac images of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. The main contribution is the segmentation considering all the images coming from an examination, through the propagation of the results obtained in previously processed images. Segmentation results are evaluated using objective metrics such as overlap, among others, compared to images provided by specialists in the Cardiology field

Anatomically-guided Deep Learning for Left Ventricle Geometry Reconstruction and Cardiac Indices Analysis Using MR Images

Von Zuben, Andre 01 January 2023 (has links) (PDF)
Recent advances in deep learning have greatly improved the ability to generate analysis models from medical images. In particular, great attention is focused on quickly generating models of the left ventricle from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of millions of patients. However, even state-of-the-art frameworks present challenges, such as discontinuities of the cardiac tissue and excessive jaggedness along the myocardial walls. These geometrical features are often anatomically incorrect and may lead to unrealistic results once the geometrical models are employed in computational analyses. In this research, we propose an end-to-end pipeline for a subject-specific model of the heart's left ventricle from Cine cMRI. Our novel pipeline incorporates the uncertainty originating from the segmentation methods in the estimation of cardiac indices, such as ejection fraction, myocardial volume changes, and global radial and longitudinal strain, during the cardiac cycle. First, we propose an anatomically-guided deep learning model to overcome the common segmentation challenges while preserving the advantages of state-of-the-art frameworks, such as computational efficiency, robustness, and abstraction capabilities. Our anatomically-guided neural networks include a B-spline head, which acts as a regularization layer during training. In addition, the introduction of the B-spline head contributes to achieving a robust uncertainty quantification of the left ventricle inner and outer walls. We validate our approach using human short-axis (SA) cMRI slices and later apply transfer learning to verify its generalization capabilities in swine long-axis (LA) cMRI slices. Finally, we use the SA and LA contours to build a Gaussian Process (GP) model to create inner and outer walls 3D surfaces, which are then used to compute global indices of cardiac functions. Our results show that the proposed pipeline generates anatomically consistent geometries while also providing a robust tool for quantifying uncertainty in the geometry and the derived cardiac indices.
