Abstract
Increasing interest in quantification of local myocardial properties throughout the cardiac cycle from tagged MR (tMR) calls for treatment of the cardiac segmentation problem as a spatio-temporal task. The method presented for myocardial segmentation, uses dynamic programming to choose the optimal contour from a set of possible contours subject to maximizing a cost function. Robust Principle Component Analysis (RPCA) is used to decompose the time series into low rank and sparse components and initialization of the contour is done on the low rank approximation. The 3D nature of the images and tag grid location is incorporated into the cost function to get more robust results. 3D+t segmentation of patient data is achieved by propagating contours spatially and temporally. The method is ideal as a pre-processing step in motion quantification and strain rate mapping algorithms.
