Abstract
The content discusses the challenges in automated echocardiography view recognition and proposes a holistic approach using graph convolutions. By incorporating 3D mesh reconstruction of the heart, the method aims to improve segmentation and pose estimation tasks. The study explores learning 3D heart meshes through graph convolutions and synthetic image generation. Experiments on synthetic and clinical cases show promising results, indicating potential for better efficiency in cardiac diagnosis.
