Abstract

PURPOSE: Ventricular segmentation is of great importance for the heart condition monitoring. However, manual segmentation is time-consuming, cumbersome, and subjective. Many segmentation methods perform poorly due to the complex structure and uncertain shape of the right ventricle, so we combine deep learning to achieve automatic segmentation.
