Localization of Left Ventricular Epicardium and Endocardium Using Convolutional Neural Network and Transfer Learning

Localization of Left Ventricular Epicardium and Endocardium is a virtual imaging strategy to empower clinical application. In any case, automatic localization of the ventricular epicardium and endocardium is still challenging due to the complex nature of heart images and precision. This research proposes an efficient method for localizing Left Ventricular Epicardium and Endocardium using transfer learning approach with Inception V3 CNN model. Experimental validation was done using the Cardiac MRI dataset, where the proposed method can localize the epicardium and endocardium with less error, which is expected to lead to faster and more accurate detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
