From: ScarElastic: continuous elasticity field modeling for myocardial scar delineation in LGE-CMR
From left to right: original image, prediction without Tissue-aware Regularization, prediction without Elasticity Field, and prediction from the full ScarElastic model. The absence of Tissue-aware Regularization leads to over-segmentation into non-scar myocardial regions, while removing the Elasticity Field reduces boundary smoothness and fails to capture subtle scar density variations. The full model achieves both precise boundaries and nuanced lesion depiction.
