ABSTRACT
Background:
Congenital heart diseases (CHDs), particularly atrial and ventricular septal defects, pose significant health risks and common challenges in detection via echocardiography. Doctors often employ the cardiac structural information during the diagnostic process. However, prior CHD research has not determined the influence of including cardiac structural information during the labeling process and the application of data augmentation techniques.Methods:
This study utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-driven object detection frameworks, specifically You Look Only Once (YOLO)v5, YOLOv7, and YOLOv9, to assess the impact of including cardiac structural information and data augmentation techniques on the identification of septal defects in echocardiographic images.Results:
The experimental results reveal that different labeling strategies substantially affect the performance of the detection models. Notably, adjustments in bounding box dimensions and the inclusion of cardiac structural details in the annotations are key factors influencing the accuracy of the model. The application of deep learning techniques in echocardiography enhances the precision of detecting septal heart defects.Conclusions:
This study confirms that careful annotation of imaging data is crucial for optimizing the performance of object detection algorithms in medical imaging. These findings suggest potential pathways for refining AI applications in diagnostic cardiology studies.
