We describe an automated, model-based method to segment the left and right ventricles in 4D tagged MR. We fit 3D epicardial and endocardial surface models to ventricle features we extract from the image data. Excellent segmentation is achieved using novel methods that (1) initialize the models and (2) that compute 3D model forces from 2D tagged MR images. The 3D forces guide the models to patient-specific anatomy while the fit is regularized via internal deformation strain energy of a thin plate. Deformation continues until the forces equilibrate or vanish. Validation of the segmentations is performed quantitatively and qualitatively on normal and diseased subjects.
