A Novel U-Net Based Deep Learning Method for 3D Cardiovascular MRI Segmentation

Figure 1

An overview of the proposed SparseVoxNet, with intermediate feature volumes. The light blue and dark blue areas of the slice represent the blood pool and myocardium. The dark blue and black areas belong to the background. The blue, yellow, and dark purple of segmented result represent the myocardium, blood pool, and background, respectively. There are two sparse blocks in this network. The black dotted line at the bottom right represents a skip connection.
