Automatic measurement of aortic annulus diameter in 3-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation involves percutaneously implanting a biomechanical aortic valve to treat severe aortic stenosis. In order to select a proper device, precise sizing of the aortic valve annulus must be completed. In this paper, we describe a fully automatic segmentation method...
