In this paper we present a novel method for the segmentation of
scintigraphic images in order to detect the two ventricles of the
heart. The method is based on the active contour model using a region
based approach and parametric representation of the contour. The novel
aspect of the method is that we have integrated separating forces
between the two ventricles in the active contour model. The method has
been applied on several scintigraphic images and compared to "active
contour without edges" model. The results are satisfactory.
