A Deep Learning Segmentation Approach in Free-Breathing Real-Time Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Table 1

Comparing the segmentation performance of the proposed network and U-Net on validation and testing set (IoU: intersection over union, CE: cross-entropy, IGD: improved generalized Dice, DA: data augmentation, and italic formatting indicating the best Dice and IoU score for each class).
