Abstract

The paper presents a method of heart ventricle segmentation. The proposed approach tries to imitate a human process of topdown localisation of proper contour by subsequent detection of a whole heart, interventricular septum and, finally, left and right ventricle. As a tool of cotour detection adaptive potential active contours (APAC) are used. They allow both to describe smooth, medical shapes and, like the other active contour techniques, make it possible to use any expert knowledge in energy function. Finally, the paper discusses the obtained results.
