Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) is a valuable point-of-care method for evaluating cardiovascular structures and function, but its scope is limited by equipment and operator's experience, resulting in primarily qualitative 2D exams. This study pres...
Cardiac ultrasound (US) image segmentation is vital for evaluating clinical indices, but it often demands a large dataset and expert annotations, resulting in high costs for deep learning algorithms. To address this, our study presents a framework ut...

Thoracic echocardiography (TTE) can provide sufficient cardiac structure information, evaluate hemodynamics and cardiac function, and is an effective method for atrial septal defect (ASD) examination. This paper aims to study a deep learning method b...
OBJECTIVE: Valvular heart diseases (VHDs) pose a significant public health burden, and deciding the best treatment strategy necessitates accurate assessment of heart valve function. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the key modality to evaluate...
