Abstract
Automatic and accurate segmentation of Left Ventricle (LV) and Right Ventricle (RV) in cine-MRI is required to analyze cardiac function and viability. We present a fully convolutional neural network to efficiently segment LV and RV as well as myocardium. The network is trained end-to-end from scratch. Average dice scores from five-fold cross-validation on the ACDC training dataset were 0.94, 0.89, and 0.88 for LV, RV, and myocardium. Experimental results show the robustness of the proposed architecture.
