Echo-E$^3$Net is an anatomy‑guided spatio‑temporal neural network designed to estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from ultrasound images. It uses a dual‑phase Endocardial Border Detector to locate end‑diastole and end‑systole landmarks and an Endocardial Feature Aggregator to fuse these landmarks with global deep‑feature descriptors for EF regression. The model achieves competitive accuracy on EchoNet‑Dynamic and EchoNet‑Pediatric datasets while using only 1.55 M parameters and 8.05 GFLOPs, enabling real‑time deployment on limited‑resource devices.
arXiv:2607. 00955v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Implicit neural representations (INRs) are well suited to cardiac motion estimation, providing continuous, compact representations of motion fields.
Graph-based cardiac segmentation with implicit anatomical correspondences provides topological guarantees and population-level analysis capabilities, but models trained on independent frames of image sequences exhibit temporal discontinuities that affect reliable clinical measurements, particularly in cardiac ultrasound. In this work, we introduce self-supervised temporal regularization as a post-training refinement stage that exploits the temporal coherence in image sequences to enforce consistent cardiac segmentation and motion estimation over time, without requiring per-frame annotations.
The paper introduces ORBIT, a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastolic and end‑systolic cardiac phases in fetal echocardiography without manual annotations. ORBIT learns a latent motion trajectory through registration, enabling orientation‑robust identification of phase transitions across diverse fetal heart positions. Evaluated on normal and congenital heart disease cases, it achieves low mean absolute errors (≈1.9–2.4 frames) and outperforms prior annotation‑free approaches that assume fixed orientations.

arXiv:2605. 16427v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep learning models for echocardiography segmentation often struggle to generalise across institutions, scanners, and patient populations, where collecting large, consistently annotated datasets is infeasible.
The paper introduces a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastole (ED) and end‑systole (ES) in echocardiography by constraining the latent motion to a single‑parameter orbit, effectively modeling cardiac phase as a one‑dimensional signal. This approach yields an interpretable representation that directly identifies ED and ES, improving ED localisation and matching ES performance compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods, while using fewer training epochs and a more constrained model. The method is trained on EchoNet‑Dynamic without annotations and the code is publicly available.

The paper introduces Phy‑BP, a physics‑constrained deep learning framework for contactless blood pressure monitoring using triaxial bodyseismography (BSG). It employs an adaptive quality‑control algorithm to select cardiogenic‑rich BSG segments and embeds a 3‑D wave‑propagation physical model into the neural network to align multi‑axis features, enhancing robustness to real‑world distortions. Experiments on a 162‑hour hospital dataset from 21 subjects demonstrate that Phy‑BP can filter low‑quality measurements and maintain accurate BP estimation even with limited training data.
