EchoDiST is an unsupervised framework for estimating myocardial motion in echocardiography, combining self‑distillation joint learning of anatomical segmentation and motion estimation with a diffusion‑conditioned network. The method uses limited anatomical annotations and stochastic perturbations during training, yet requires only a single deterministic forward pass at inference. Evaluated on three datasets, EchoDiST consistently outperforms seven other learning‑based approaches in anatomical alignment, strain assessment, and functional metrics, with statistically significant improvements across cross‑view and cross‑dataset tests.

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.

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.
