Patent ID: 10827982

Abstract:
A convolutional neural cardiac diagnostic system employs an echocardiogram diagnostic controller for controlling a diagnosis of an echocardiogram including a temporal sequence of echocardiac cycles. The echocardiogram diagnostic controller includes a diagnostic periodic volume generator generating an echocardiogram diagnostic volume including a periodic stacking of the temporal sequence of echocardiac cycles, and further includes a diagnostic convolutional neural network classifying the echocardiogram as either a normal echocardiogram or an abnormal echocardiogram based on a convolutional neural analysis of the echocardiogram diagnostic volume. The diagnostic periodic volume generator may further generate an electrocardiogram diagnostic volume including a periodic stacking of the temporal sequence of electrocardiac waves, and the convolutional neural network may classify the echocardiogram as either a normal echocardiogram or an abnormal echocardiogram based on a convolutional neural analysis of both the echocardiogram diagnostic volume and the electrocardiogram diagnostic volume.
