Dilated Convolutional Neural Networks for Cardiovascular MR Segmentation in Congenital Heart Disease [PDF]
RAMBO 2016, HVSMR 2016. LNCS 10129. pp. 95-102, 2017 We propose an automatic method using dilated convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for segmentation of the myocardium and blood pool in cardiovascular MR (CMR) of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Ten training and ten test CMR scans cropped to an ROI around the heart were provided in the MICCAI 2016 HVSMR challenge.
