🌟 Project Overview

HeartSeg AI is a deep learning‑powered cardiac MRI segmentation system built as a Mini Project at Saveetha Engineering College. It implements the U‑Net architecture to automatically segment critical heart structures — Left Ventricle, Right Ventricle, and Myocardium — from MRI scans, while also classifying the scan into one of 12 cardiac disease categories through a modern web interface.

🎓 Institution: Saveetha Engineering College, Chennai
📅 Academic Year: 2024–2025
🧠 Model: U‑Net with 94.8% segmentation accuracy
🏥 Clinical Use: Cardiac MRI diagnostic support

🎯 Problem Statement

Manual cardiac MRI segmentation is a bottleneck in clinical cardiology — it takes hours per scan, requires expert radiologists, and produces inconsistent results across practitioners. HeartSeg AI automates this entirely, delivering reproducible, high‑accuracy segmentation in under 2 seconds through a browser‑based interface that integrates seamlessly into clinical workflows.

✨ Feature Highlights

🧠 U‑Net Segmentation Engine

Encoder Path — Captures multi‑scale contextual features through progressive downsampling
Bottleneck — Processes the most compressed, abstract feature representation
Decoder Path — Precise localization through upsampling with skip connections
Pixel‑wise Output — Generates full‑resolution segmentation masks
3 Structure Segmentation — Left Ventricle, Right Ventricle, Myocardium simultaneously
94.8% accuracy on validation MRI datasets
Input size: 128×128 grayscale images (configurable)

🏥 12‑Class Disease Classification

Normal — Healthy cardiac MRI
Healthy — (synonym for normal)
Myocardial Infarction — Heart attack evidence
Coronary Artery Disease — Arterial blockage patterns
Arrhythmias — Irregular heartbeats
Heart Failure — Reduced ejection fraction indicators
Heart Valve Disease — Structural valve abnormalities
Cardiomyopathy — Heart muscle disease
Congenital Heart Defects — Birth defects
Pericarditis — Inflammation of the pericardium
Aortic Disease — Aorta abnormalities
Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease — Long‑term blood flow restriction
