Automatic heart and vessel segmentation using random forests and a local phase guided level set method

• In this report, a novel automatic heart and vessel segmentation method is proposed. The heart segmentation pipeline consists of three major steps: heart localization using landmark detection, heart isolation using statistical shape model and myocardium segmentation using learning based voxel classification and local phase analysis. In our preliminary test, the proposed method achieved encouraging results.
