Abstract
Pre-operative plans for cardiac surgeries are required for providing precious information of the target area and assessing the suitability of offered interventional technique. This paper proposes a new approach to obtain the safest corridor along the left ventricle during pre-operative phase in order to register it onto intracardiac phase for transapical access. Method provides accurate spatial information of dynamic left ventricle borders by utilizing a modified active contour model during systole and diastole cycle of heart, and as a result of this, extracts the safest path through left ventricle based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with promising volumetric capability and no-radiation effect.
