Algorithms for left atrial wall segmentation and thickness – Evaluation on an open-source CT and MRI image database

In the past decade, algorithms for medical image analysis have grown rapidly with the availability of several open-source image processing and visualisation libraries. However, translation of these algorithms to the clinical environment has been limited despite their rapid development. Algorithms are usually validated in-house extensively, but it often remains unclear how they compare to other existing algorithms. Cross comparing the algorithm ’s performance becomes a challenge with the absence of a common pool of data.
