Automated Segmentation and Quantification of the Right Ventricle in 2-D Echocardiography

The right ventricle receives less attention than its left counterpart in echocardiography research, practice and development of automated solutions. In the work described here, we sought to determine that the deep learning methods for automated segmentation of the left ventricle in 2-D echocardiograms are also valid for the right ventricle. Additionally, here we describe and explore a keypoint detection approach to segmentation that guards against erratic behavior often displayed by segmentation models.
