EchoNet-Pediatric
Dataset Description
Pediatric echocardiography, or cardiac ultrasound, is the most widely used and readily available imaging modality to assess and manage congenital and acquired heart disease in children. Echocardiography is portable, efficient, and non-invasive, while still providing high quality imaging, making it the foremost frontline diagnostic tool in the United States for cardiac disease. Assessment of left ventricular function is of paramount importance in monitoring disease progression and targeting treatment for a wide range of pediatric diseases, including patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy, arrythmia management, heart failure, post-surgical ventricular function, genetic abnormalities, and acquired heart disease. In addition to our deep learning model, we introduce a new large video dataset of echocardiograms for computer vision research. The EchoNet-Peds database includes 7,643 labeled echocardiogram videos and human expert annotations (measurements, tracings, and calculations) to provide a baseline to study cardiac motion and chamber sizes. The database includes patients ranging from 0-18 years (43% female) with a wide range of sizes.
