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.
