ABSTRACT:
A system and method for tracking and classifying the left ventricle of the heart using cine-delayed enhancement magnetic resonance (Cine-DEMR) are provided. The method for tracking the left ventricle comprises: delineating myocardial borders of the left ventricle in an image of a first phase of a cardiac cycle of the heart; registering the image of the first phase with an image of a second phase of the cardiac cycle; copying the myocardial borders from the first phase onto the second phase; fitting the myocardial borders of the first phase to myocardial borders of the second phase; and refining the myocardial borders of the second phase.
