Abstract
Diagnosis of cardiovascular disease using automated methods often relies on the critical task of cardiac image segmentation. We propose a novel strategy that performs segmentation using specialist networks that focus on a single anatomy (left ventricle, right ventricle, or myocardium). Given an input long-axis cardiac MR image, our method performs a ternary segmentation in the first stage to identify these anatomical regions, followed by cropping the original image to focus subsequent processing on the anatomical regions. The specialist networks are coupled through an attention mechanism that performs cross-attention to interlink features from different anatomies, serving as a soft relative shape prior. Central to our approach is an additive attention block (E-2A block), which is used throughout our architecture thanks to its efficiency. The source code is available at1.
