OBJECTIVE: We propose a deep learning-based fully automatic right ventricle (RV) segmentation technique that targets radially reconstructed long-axis (RLA) images of the center of the RV region in routine short axis (SA) cardiovascular magnetic reson...
BACKGROUND: Ejection fraction (EF) is a key parameter for assessing cardiovascular functions in cardiac ultrasound, but its manual assessment is time-consuming and subject to high inter and intra-observer variability. Deep learning-based methods have...

PURPOSE: Accurate segmentation of cardiac structures on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images is crucial for the morphological analysis, measurement, and functional evaluation. In this study, we achieve accurate automatic segmentation of cardiac stru...
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 uncerta...
