Abstract

System for detecting vegetations inside the heart through the analysis of echocardiographic images, comprising a detection module configured to receive echocardiographic images and to detect one or more vegetations in each echocardiographic image using a deep neural network trained with labelled echocardiographic images; a segmentation module configured to determine a contour of the vegetations in the echocardiographic images; and a parameter extraction module configured to analyse sequential echocardiographic images in order to determine position and motion parameters of the vegetations, such as vegetation area, position, velocity, and trajectory. The system further enables accurate diagnosis of embolism risk and the detection of heart valve obstructions. The invention also relates to a method for detecting vegetations that makes use of the described system.
