FusionNet: 4D心臓モデルのフレーム補間ネットワーク

本文：arXiv:2603.10212v1 アナウンスタイプ: new 要旨：Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is widely used to visualise cardiac motion and diagnose heart disease. However, standard CMR imaging requires patients to lie still in a confined space inside a loud machine for 40-60 min, which increases patient discomfort. In addition, shorter scan times decrease either or both the temporal and spatial resolutions of cardiac motion, and thus, the diagnostic accuracy of the procedure. Of these, we focus on reduced temporal resolution and propose a neural network called FusionNet to obtain four-dimensional (4D) cardiac motion with high temporal resolution from CMR images captured in a short period of time. The model estimates intermediate 3D heart shapes based on adjacent shapes. The results of an experimental evaluation of the proposed FusionNet model showed that it achieved a performance of over 0.897 in terms of the Dice coefficient, confirming that it can recover shapes more precisely than existing methods.
