Ultrasound images are characterized by high level of speckle noise causing undefined contours and difficulties during the segmentation process. This paper presents a novel method to detect heart cavities in ultrasound images. The method is based on a Self Organizing Map and the use of the variance of images. Successful application of our approach to detect heart cavities on real images is presented.
