• Abstract: Cardiac image segmentation is a powerful tool in regard to diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Purely feature-based detection of anatomical structures like the mitral valve is a laborious task due to specifically required feature engineering and is especially challenging in echocardiograms, because of their inherently low contrast and blurry boundaries between some anatomical structures. With the publication of further annotated medical datasets and the increase in GPU processing power, deep learning-based methods in medical image segmentation became more feasible in the past years. We propose a fully automatic detection method for mitral valve hinge points, which uses a U-Net based deep neural net to segment cardiac chambers in echocardiograms in a first step, and subsequently extracts the mitral valve hinge points from the resulting segmentations in a second step. Results measured with this automatic detection method were compared to reference coordinate values, which with median absolute hinge point coordinate errors of 1.35 mm for the x- (15-85 percentile range: [0.3 mm; 3.15 mm]) and 0.75 mm for the y- coordinate (15-85 percentile range: [0.15 mm; 1.88 mm]).

  We propose FocalSegNet, a novel 3D focal modulation UNet, to detect an aneurysm and offer an initial, coarse segmentation of it from time-of-flight MRA image patches. We trained and evaluated our model on a public dataset, and in terms of UIA detection, our model showed a low false-positive rate of 0.21 and a high sensitivity of 0.80.

The performance analysis of the proposed ensemble model in the basal and middle slices was similar as compared to intra-observer study and slightly lower at apical slices.
