• Keywords: Echocardiography, Cardiac imaging, Deep learning, Phase detection.
• TL;DR: Multibeat echocardiographic phase detection using neural networks for videos of arbitrary length.
• Abstract: Accurate identification of end-diastolic and end-systolic frames in echocardiographic cine loops is essential when measuring cardiac function. Manual selection by human experts is challenging and error prone. This paper presents a deep neural network trained and tested on multi-centre patient data for accurate phase detection in apical four-chamber videos of arbitrary length, spanning several heartbeats, with performance indistinguishable from that of human experts.
