• Abstract: Global single-valued biomarkers of cardiac function typically used in clinical practice, such as ejection fraction, provide limited insight on the true 3D cardiac deformation process and hence, limit the understanding of both healthy and pathological cardiac mechanics. In this work, we propose the Point Cloud Deformation Network (PCD-Net) as a novel geometric deep learning approach to model 3D cardiac contraction and relaxation between the extreme ends of the cardiac cycle. It employs the recent advances in point cloud-based deep learning into an encoder-decoder structure, in order to enable efficient multi-scale feature learning directly on multi-class 3D point cloud representations of the cardiac anatomy. We evaluate our approach on a large dataset of over 10,000 cases from the UK Biobank study and find average Chamfer distances between the predicted and ground truth anatomies below the pixel resolution of the underlying image acquisition. Furthermore, we observe similar clinical metrics between predicted and ground truth populations and show that the PCD-Net can successfully capture subpopulation-specific differences between normal subjects and myocardial infarction (MI) patients. We then demonstrate that the learned 3D deformation patterns outperform multiple clinical benchmarks by 13% and 7% in terms of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the tasks of prevalent MI detection and incident MI prediction and by 7% in terms of Harrell's concordance index for MI survival analysis.

  Whole heart segmentation (WHS) supports cardiovascular disease diagnosis, disease monitoring, treatment planning, and prognosis. This paper introduces a new topology-preserving module that is integrated into deep neural networks. The implementation achieves anatomically plausible segmentation by using learned topology-preserving fields, which are based entirely on 3D convolution and are therefore very effective for 3D voxel data.

  Cardiac ultrasound faces two major challenges: (1) the inherently complex structure of the heart, and (2) significant individual variations.

We propose a sequence-aware self-supervised pre-training method to learn personalized 2D and 3D cardiac structural features.
