Dilated Convolutional Neural Networks for Cardiovascular MR Segmentation in Congenital Heart Disease

We propose an automatic method using dilated convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for segmentation of the myocardium and blood pool in cardiovascular MR (CMR) of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).
