Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cardiac shape modeling is a useful computational tool that has provided quantitative insights into the mechanisms underlying dysfunction in heart disease. The manual input and time required to make cardiac shape models, however, limits their clinical utility. Here we present an end-to-end pipeline that uses deep learning for automated view classification, slice selection, phase selection, anatomical landmark localization, and myocardial image segmentation for the automated generation of three-dimensional, biventricular shape models. With this approach, we aim to make cardiac shape modeling a more robust and broadly applicable tool that has processing times consistent with clinical workflows.
