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.

QuantumBoostNet is a hybrid classical‑quantum architecture designed to improve accuracy in identifying cardiac ultrasound views. The model combines a classical backbone with two heads—one classical and a 10‑qubit quantum circuit—using an adaptive mixing parameter to switch between them during training. Experiments show that, even with limited qubits, QuantumBoostNet outperforms state‑of‑the‑art classical and hybrid models on cardiac ultrasound view identification, image classification benchmarks, and demonstrates robustness to noise.
