FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the image segmentation. Claimed is a system (200) for contouring the heart endocardium and epicardium on an image, calculated by data of long-axis images with application of a template for creating curves for contouring the endocardium and epicardium on the image, the system (200) contains a unit (205) of the template positioning for positioning the template on the basis of data of the short-axis images, a unit (210) of a scar map initiation for initiation of the scar map for application in adaptation of the template for the image on the basis of previous segmentation of the endocardium and epicardium surfaces on the basis of data of the short-axis images and an adaptation unit (220) for adaptation of the template for the image with application of a criterion function, the criterion function contains members, describing approximation of the template to the image peculiarities, and members, describing internal interactions inside the template, and in which at least one member of the criterion function is created on the basis of the scar map.
EFFECT: improvement of contouring the heart endocardium and epicardium.
