Abstract
A microcomputer-based image analysis system for the left ventricle is introduced. This system is based on an IBM-PC/AT microcomputer as a host with an image processing subsystem. The configurations of the hardware and the software of the system are presented, followed by the functions and main features of the system. In addition, a contour detection method using the dynamic programming is developed for the left ventricle. Finally, applications to routine images are presented. The experimental results show the efficacy and efficiency of present system
