Abstract

The goal of this research is to provide a practical algorithm for outlining the left ventricular cavity in digital subtraction angiography. The proposed algorithm is based on the elliptic approximation and ML (Maximum Likelihood) estimate, and it produces a good results regarding execution time, robustness against noise, accuracy, and range of position of ROI (Regions Of Interest).
