Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for artificially intelligent ejection fraction determination. In a method for artificially intelligent ejection fraction determination, a neural network is loaded into memory of a computer, that has been trained with different sets of cardiac imaging data acquired during imaging of a ventricle for different hearts and a known ejection fraction for each of the sets. Then, a contemporaneous set of imaging data is acquired of a ventricle of a heart and the contemporaneous set of imaging data is provided to the neural network. Finally, an ejection fraction determination output by the neural network is displayed in a display of the computer without tracing a ventricle boundary of the heart.
