Abstract
In the paper novel application of the level set method to heart segmentation in ultrasound echocardiography is addressed. In the presented approach region of interest of the ultrasound image is calculated by means of Hough transform and speckle noise is reduced by anisotropic diffusion filter. The method is initially validated on USG-like simulated noisy images.
