Automated image segmentation for cardiac septal defects based on contour region with convolutional neural networks: A preliminary study

Echocardiogram examination is important for diagnosing cardiac septal defects. With the development of AI-based technology, an echocardiogram examination previously performed manually by cardiologists can be done automatically. Automatic segmentation of cardiac septal defects can help a physician to make an initial diagnosis before referring a pediatric cardiologist for further treatment. In previous studies, automatic object segmentation using...
