Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: deep learning algorithms have not been successfully used for the left ventricle (LV) detection in echocardiographic images due to overfitting and vanishing gradient descent problem. This research aims to increase accuracy and improves the processing time of the left ventricle detection process by reducing the overfitting and vanishing gradient problem.
