• Abstract: Automatic and robust segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) in magnetic resonance images (MRI) has remained challenging for many decades. With the great success of deep learning in object detection and classification, the research focus of LV segmentation has changed to convolutional neural network (CNN) in recent years. However, LV segmentation is a pixel-level classification problem and its categories are intractable compared to object detection and classification. In this paper, we proposed a robust LV segmentation method based on slope difference distribution (SDD) double threshold selection and circular Hough transform (CHT). The proposed method achieved 96.51% DICE score on the test set of automated cardiac diagnosis challenge (ACDC) which is higher than the best accuracy reported in recently published literatures.

  The central challenge in this research revolves around the absence of a set of parameters applicable to all three types of LV slices. To handle this issue, a new method is proposed to enhance LV segmentation. The proposed method involves using distinct sets of parameters for each type of slice, resulting in a two-phase segmentation approach.
