ABSTRACT
Four-dimensional ultrasound based on matrix phased array
transducers can capture the complex 4D cardiac motion in a
complete and real-time fashion. However, the large amount
of information residing in 4D ultrasound scans and novel
applications under interventional settings pose a big
challenge in efficiency for workflow and computer-aided
diagnostic algorithms such as segmentation. In this context,
