Abstract
For boundary detection, such as heart wall detection for strain or another quantification, the boundary is detected using multiple types of imaging, such as B-mode and contrast. The confidence in the detected locations is used to form a more accurate boundary, such as replacing low confidence locations from B-mode imaging with higher confidence locations from the contrast imaging. Even where experts may struggle to identify boundaries, a more accurate boundary is created and used by the image processor or processing.
