Imperial College London (Bai et al.)
Long-standing toolbox for automated segmentation of the ventricles and atria and derivation of cardiac imaging phenotypes from short- and long-axis cine cardiac MRI. Built on a fully convolutional network trained per slice, and widely reused across UK Biobank cardiac imaging studies since its 2018 publication. Developed at Imperial College London.
