            Abstract : 
A semi-automatic endocardial contour detection method has been developed on cine CT sequences. A preprocessing relying on a pyramidal thresholding is made, permitting the extraction of a region of interest on the first image. A contour detection algorithm is then processed on the whole sequence, grounded on the search of an optimal pathway in the graph.
