Left ventricle quantification in 3D echocardiography using a geometric deformable model

Real-time 30 echocardiography can provide nccurate left ventricle volume measurement without geometric ussumptions with the assist of a robust segmentarion algorithm. A new 30 geometric deformable model is introduced for the purpose by combining 30 Gradient vector flow (GVF) and 30 geodesic active. contour model. The new model is successfuliy applied to left ventricle quantification in 30 echocardiography.
