• Abstract: Medical imaging refers to the technologies and methods utilized to view the human body and its inside, in order to diagnose, monitor, or even treat medical disorders. This paper aims to explore the application of deep learning techniques in the semantic segmentation of Cardiac short-axis MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images, aiming to enhance the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of medical disorders related to the heart. The focus centers on implementing various architectures that are derivatives of U-Net, to effectively isolate specific parts of the heart for comprehensive anatomical and functional analysis. Through a combination of images, graphs, and quantitative metrics, the efficacy of the models and their predictions are showcased. Additionally, this paper addresses encountered challenges and outline strategies for future improvements. This abstract provides a concise overview of the efforts in utilizing deep learning for cardiac image segmentation, emphasizing both the accomplishments and areas for further refinement.

  This work defines a new task of medical image analysis, i.e., to perform myocardial pathology segmentation (MyoPS) MyoPS combines three-sequence cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images, which was first proposed in the MyoPS challenge, in conjunction with MICCAI 2020. The challenge provided 45 paired and pre-aligned CMR images, allowing algorithms to combine the complementary information from the three CMR sequences for pathology segmentation.
