Optimizing Deep Learning for Cardiac MRI Segmentation: The Impact of Automated Slice Range Classification.

Journal: Academic radiology
Published Date:

Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is crucial for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, but lengthy postprocessing and manual segmentation can lead to observer bias. Deep learning (DL) has been proposed for automated cardiac segmentation; however, its effectiveness is limited by the slice range selection from base to apex.
