Joint shape/texture representation learning for cardiovascular disease diagnosis from magnetic resonance imaging.

Our mesh-image variational auto-encoder provides a novel approach for 3D cardiac mesh reconstruction from images. The extraction of SAIR is fast and without need of segmentation masks, and its focussing can be visualized in the corresponding cardiac meshes. SAIR archives better performance than traditional biomarkers and can be applied as an efficient supplement to them, which is of significant potential in CVD analysis.
