A Survey of Left Atrial Appendage Segmentation and Analysis in 3D and 4D Medical Images. (arXiv:2205.06486v1 [eess.IV])

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiovascular disease identified as one of the
main risk factors for stroke. The majority of strokes due to AF are caused by
clots originating in the left atrial appendage (LAA). LAA occlusion is an
effective procedure for reducing stroke risk. Planning the procedure using
pre-procedural imaging and analysis has shown benefits. The analysis is
commonly done by manually segmenting the appendage on 2D slices. Automatic LAA
segmentation methods could save an expert's time and provide …
