Key result
A fully automatic framework for left ventricular segmentation using shape-based B-spline explicit active surfaces achieved mean average distances of 1.81±0.59 mm at end-diastole and 1.98±0.66 mm at end-systole.
Why the study?
Does a shape-based B-spline explicit active surfaces framework improve left ventricular segmentation accuracy and efficiency in 3-D echocardiography compared to other state-of-the-art methods?

May accelerate LV quantification in 3-D echo; leaves open clinical validation before adoption.
Queirós et al. (2017) studied Left ventricular segmentation in echocardiography. Shape-based B-spline explicit active surfaces framework vs. Other state-of-the-art methods was evaluated on Mean average distance at end-diastole and end-systole. A fully automatic framework for left ventricular segmentation using shape-based B-spline explicit active surfaces achieved mean average distances of 1.81±0.59 mm at end-diastole and 1.98±0.66 mm at end-systole.
