Abstract
An automatic myocardial segmentation method in two-dimensional echocardiography includes: calculating and extracting ridge information in two-dimensional echocardiography; extracting image skeleton data, and connecting fragmented skeleton data to obtain continuous skeleton data by using interpolation; screening the continuous skeleton data, and extracting two optimal paths from a top to a bottom based on a myocardial feature to obtain left and right myocardial skeletons; extracting a set of feature point candidates from the left and right myocardial skeletons, and selecting a pair of key matching feature points from the set of feature point candidates as anchor points based on the myocardial feature; entering anchor point data and left and right myocardial skeleton data in a mathematical model of heart chambers to fit the morphology of heart chambers and obtain an initial myocardial contour; and constructing a myocardial feature energy equation.
