RAMAS-Net: a module-optimized convolutional network model for aortic valve stenosis recognition in echocardiography by Yejia Gan, Wanzhong Huang, Yan Deng, Xiaoying Xie, Yuanyuan Gu, Yaozhuang Zhou, Qian Zhang, Maosheng Zhang, Yangchun Liu

“…IntroductionAortic stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease that obstructs normal blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta due to pathological changes in the valve, leading to impaired cardiac function. Echocardiography is a key diagnostic tool for AS; however, its accuracy is influenced by inter-observer variability, operator experience, and image quality, which can result in misdiagnosis. …”
