Multiview based learning has generally returned dividends in performance because additional information can be extracted for the representation of the diversity of different views. The advantage of multiview based learning fits the purpose of segmenting cardiac anatomy from multiview echocardiography, which is a non-invasive, low-cost and low-risk imaging modality. Nevertheless, it is still challenging because of limited training data, a poor signal-to-noise ratio of the echocardiographic data, and large variances across views for a joint learning. In addition, for a better interpretation of pathophysiological processes, clinical decision-making and prognosis, such cardiac anatomy segmentation and quantitative analysis of various clinical indices should ideally be performed for the data covering the full cardiac cycle. To tackle these challenges, a multiview recurrent aggregation network (MV-RAN) has been developed …
