Multiview and Multiclass Image Segmentation using Deep Learning in Fetal Echocardiography [PDF]
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital abnormality associated with birth defects in the United States. Despite training efforts and substantial advancement in ultrasound technology over the past years, CHD remains an abnormality that is frequently missed during prenatal ultrasonography.
