• Abstract: The left ventricular of ejection fraction is one of the most important metric of cardiac function. It is used by cardiologist to identify patients who are eligible for lifeprolonging therapies. However, the assessment of ejection fraction suffers from inter-observer variability. To overcome this challenge, we propose a deep learning approach, based on hierarchical vision Transformers, to estimate the ejection fraction from echocardiogram videos. The proposed method can estimate ejection fraction without the need for left ventrice segmentation first, make it more efficient than other methods. We evaluated our method on EchoNet-Dynamic dataset resulting 5.59, 7.59 and 0.59 for MAE, RMSE and R2 respectivelly. This results are better compared to the state-of-the-art method, Ultrasound Video Transformer (UVT). The source code is available on https://github.com/lhfazry/UltraSwin.

  We introduce a self-supervised deep learning architecture to segment catheters in longitudinal ultrasound images.

  Existing video-based methods do not pay much attention to the left ventricular region, nor the left ventricular changes caused by motion. We propose a semi-supervised auxiliary learning paradigm with a left ventricular segmentation task, which contributes to the representation learning for the left ventricular region. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Stanford dataset with an improvement of 0.22 MAE, 0.26 RMSE, and 1.9% $R2$.

  We propose using the M(otion)-mode of echocardiograms for estimating the left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and classifying cardiomyopathy. We generate multiple artificial M-mode images from a single echocardiogram and combine them using off-the-shelf model architectures. Our experiments show that the supervised setting converges with only ten modes and is comparable to the baseline method.

Our end-to-end learnable approach can estimate the ejection fraction with a MAE of 5.95 and $R2$ of 0.52 in 0.15s per video, showing that segmentation is not the only way to predict ejection fraction.

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.
