SPASM: Segmentation of Sparse and Arbitrarily Oriented Cardiac MRI Data Using a 3D-ASM

Abstract. In this paper, a new technique (SPASM) based on a 3DASM is presented for automatic segmentation of cardiac MRI image data sets consisting of multiple planes with different orientations, and with large undersampled regions. SPASM was applied to sparsely sampled and radially oriented cardiac LV image data. Performance of SPASM has been compared to results from other methods reported in literature. The accuracy of SPASM is comparable to these other methods, but SPASM uses considerably less image data.
