Automatic ultrasound segmentation of the left ventricle

I need to my script to automatically segment the left ventricle of the heart from an ultrasound image (indicated in the attached image). I know how to do it manually by using 'drawpolygon' and masks.

What would be the best approach to automate this process?

You'll find algorithms here:

Pick one and code it up, or ask the author for it.
