Background:

Accurate segmentation of the right ventricle (RV) is crucial for diagnosing cardiac conditions.
Traditional active shape models (ASM) face challenges in accurately delineating RV boundaries in cardiac MRI sequences.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel active shape model (ASM) paradigm for improved RV segmentation in cardiac MRI.
To enhance the accuracy and robustness of RV segmentation using modified ASM techniques.

Main Methods:

The proposed paradigm modifies ASM by incorporating 2D-principal component analysis (PCA) to model inter-profile landmark variations.
A multi-stage searching algorithm is employed for iterative refinement of shape fitting based on profile relations.

Validation was performed on a dataset of 90 short-axis cine bright blood MRI images from 30 subjects.

Main Results:

The novel ASM method reduced segmentation error by approximately 0.4 mm compared to the classical ASM.
Contour overlap improved by about 4% with statistically significant results.
Comparative analysis with existing literature demonstrated a significant decrease in RV segmentation error.

Conclusions:

The proposed modified ASM paradigm offers a significant improvement for RV segmentation in cardiac MRI.
The enhanced method provides greater accuracy and robustness in delineating cardiac structures.
This approach holds potential for improved clinical assessment of right ventricular function.
