Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop an automated method using deep learning for the reliable and precise quantification of left ventricle structure and function from echocardiogram videos, eliminating the need to identify end-systolic and end-diastolic frames. This addresses the variability and potential inaccuracies associated with manual quantification, aiming to improve the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular conditions.
