Explicit and automatic ejection fraction assessment on 2D cardiac ultrasound with a deep learning-based approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Computers in biology and medicine"
DOI: 10.1093/ehjci/jeab289.006
Abstract: BACKGROUND Ejection fraction (EF) is a key parameter for assessing cardiovascular functions in cardiac ultrasound, but its manual assessment is time-consuming and subject to high inter and intra-observer variability. Deep learning-based methods have the potential… read more here.
