In this study, we propose an ensemble framework combining several improved UNet-based architectures to achieve robust and clinically reliable segmentation performance. The ensemble integrates multiple models, including variants of standard UNet, Residual UNet, and Attention UNet, optimized through extensive hyperparameter tuning and data augmentation on the CAMUS subject-based dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves a Dice similarity coefficient of 0.91 , surpassing several state- of-the-art methods reported in recent literature. Moreover, the proposed ensemble exhibits exceptional stability across subjects and maintains high generalization performance, indicating its strong potential for real-world clinical deployment. This work highlights the effectiveness of ensemble deep learning techniques for cardiac image segmentation and represents a promising step towards clinical-grade automated analysis in cardiac imaging. Introduction Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide, highlighting the need for precise and efficient tools for cardiac assessment. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely regarded as the gold standard for non-invasive evaluation of cardiac structures and functions [ 1 ], [ 5 ]. Accurate segmentation of cardiac structures, including the left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), and myocardium, is crucial for diagnosis, treatment planning, and longitudinal monitoring. Deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has shown remarkable success in medical image segmentation tasks [ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 3 ], [ 4 ]. The U-Net architecture [ 1 ] and its variants, including attention mechanisms [ 3 ] and deeper residual networks [ 2 ], have significantly improved segmentation accuracy in various modalities. However, single-model approaches may be limited by dataset heterogeneity and anatomical variability, especially in clinical cardiac MRI datasets. Ensemble learning, which combines multiple model predictions, has emerged as a powerful strategy to enhance robustness and generalization in medical imaging applications [ 7 ], [ 8 ]. In this study, we propose an ensemble of improved U-Net architectures for cardiac MRI segmentation, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on the CAMUS dataset [ 9 ]. Our approach achieves exceptional Dice scores across all cardiac structures, providing a clinically relevant tool for accurate and reliable cardiac assessment. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: Section II reviews related work in cardiac MRI segmentation. Section III describes the proposed ensemble methodology and network architectures. Section IV presents experimental results and analysis, including Dice score evaluation, ROC curves, and confusion matrices. Finally, Section V concludes the paper and discusses potential clinical implications and future directions. Related Work Automated cardiac MRI segmentation has been an active area of research for over a decade. Traditional methods, such as atlas-based segmentation and deformable models, often required extensive manual intervention and were limited by anatomical variability [ 5 ]. The advent of deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), revolutionized medical image analysis by enabling end-to-end learning from raw images [ 4 ]. The U-Net architecture [ 1 ] is arguably the most influential model in biomedical image segmentation. Its encoder-decoder structure with skip connections allows precise localization while maintaining contextual information. Subsequent variants, including Attention U-Net [ 3 ] and residual U-Net architectures [ 2 ], have improved segmentation performance by focusing on relevant features and alleviating vanishing gradient problems. Several studies have applied deep learning to cardiac MRI segmentation. Smistad et al. [ 5 ] proposed a real-time deep learning method for ejection fraction and foreshortening detection using ultrasound, highlighting the clinical potential of automated cardiac assessment. Recent advances in model scaling, such as EfficientNet [ 8 ], have also shown promise in balancing accuracy and computational efficiency. Despite these advances, single-model approaches may be sensitive to variations in imaging protocols, patient anatomy, and acquisition noise. Ensemble methods, which combine predictions from multiple models, have been shown to enhance robustness and improve generalization in medical imaging tasks [ 7 ]. In this study, we employ an ensemble of improved U-Net architectures to leverage complementary strengths, achieving state-of-the-art Dice scores on the CAMUS dataset [ 9 ]. Methodology In this study, we propose a robust framework for cardiac MRI segmentation using an ensemble of improved U-Net architectures. Our methodology consists of the following key steps: 1. Data Acquisition and Preprocessing We used the CAMUS echocardiographic image dataset [ 9 ], which includes 450 samples with manual annotations for four classes: Background, Left Ventricle (LV), Myocardium, and Right Ventricle (RV). All images were resized to 192 × 192pixels to standardize the input dimensions. Intensity normalization was applied per frame using min-max scaling. Corresponding masks were resized using nearest-neighbor interpolation to preserve class labels. 2. Model Architectures Two state-of-the-art U-Net variants were employed: UNet_Advanced [ 1 ]: A modified U-Net with enhanced convolutional blocks and batch normalization to improve feature extraction. Deep_UNet_Improved [ 2 , 3 ]: A deeper U-Net with residual connections and attention mechanisms to capture long-range dependencies and improve segmentation accuracy. Each model was trained independently with a Dice loss function, optimized using Adam, and evaluated on a held-out test set. 3. Ensemble Learning To leverage complementary strengths of the individual models, we implemented an ensemble strategy. Predictions from UNet_Advanced and Deep_UNet_Improved were averaged for each pixel to obtain the final segmentation mask. This simple averaging meta-learner provided robust performance across different cardiac views and phases. 4. valuation Metrics Segmentation performance was evaluated using: Dice Coefficient per class Confusion Matrices ROC Curves and AUC The ensemble achieved superior results, with a mean Dice score of 0.9091 and an ROC-based accuracy of 0.9567 across 68 test samples. 5. Implementation Details All models were implemented in TensorFlow 2.x. Data augmentation techniques, such as rotation and horizontal flipping, were applied to improve generalization. Predictions and evaluations were performed on a GPU-enabled environment for computational efficiency. This methodology demonstrates that combining improved U-Net variants in an ensemble framework can achieve clinical-grade segmentation performance , with consistent and reproducible results. Experiments and Results 1. Dataset and Test Split We evaluated our models on 68 held-out test samples from the CAMUS echocardiographic dataset [ 9 ]. The dataset was split into training, validation, and test sets in a 70:15:15 ratio. Preprocessing included resizing to 192 × 192and intensity normalization. 2.

These matrices show that most misclassifications occur between Myocardium and RV , while Background and LV are segmented with high precision [ 1 , 3 ]. 5.

The approach is suitable for clinical-grade cardiac MRI segmentation. 1. Dataset & Evaluation ○. Tested on 68 held-out samples from CAMUS dataset ○. 70:15:15 train-validation-test split ○.

Robust Performance : Consistent high scores across metrics Key Insight The ensemble approach successfully leverages the complementary strengths of both architectures, providing consistent improvements across all cardiac structures, particularly for the more challenging RV and Myocardium segments. The confusion matrices illustrate the classification performance of each model across the four cardiac structures: Background, Left Ventricle (LV), Myocardium, and Right Ventricle (RV). Both UNet_Advanced and Deep_UNet_Improved exhibit high diagonal dominance, indicating strong agreement between predicted and true labels. The Background and LV classes achieve the highest accuracy, with values exceeding 0.97 and 0.91, respectively. Most misclassifications occur between Myocardium and RV , where partial boundary overlap and intensity similarities make segmentation challenging. The Ensemble model further reduces off-diagonal errors, confirming its ability to integrate complementary features from both networks. Overall, the ensemble delivers the cleanest confusion pattern, demonstrating improved inter-class discrimination and fewer false assignments. The ROC curves for all models and classes show consistently excellent discriminative ability, with AUC values exceeding 0.98 in all cases. The Ensemble model achieves marginal yet consistent improvements over individual networks, with AUCs up to 0.998 for the LV and 0.995 for the Background class. These near-perfect ROC characteristics indicate the models’ robustness in distinguishing cardiac structures even under subtle intensity variations. The minimal gap between individual models and the ensemble confirms that both UNet variants are well-calibrated, while ensemble averaging enhances overall reliability and stability in prediction performance. Visual inspection of segmentation outputs highlights the superior boundary delineation achieved by the Ensemble model . While both UNet_Advanced and Deep_UNet_Improved closely approximate the ground truth, the ensemble consistently produces smoother contours and more anatomically coherent regions, particularly along the LV and RV boundaries. Minor inconsistencies present in individual model predictions—such as slight under-segmentation of the myocardium or leakage into the RV—are effectively mitigated through ensemble averaging. Overall, the qualitative results corroborate the quantitative metrics, confirming that the ensemble yields the most precise and stable cardiac structure segmentation across varying image qualities. Discussion The results of our study demonstrate the effectiveness of using an ensemble of improved UNet architectures for cardiac MRI segmentation. The ensemble model consistently outperformed individual models, achieving a mean Dice score of 0.9091 and an accuracy of 95.67% , indicating robust segmentation performance across all cardiac structures [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 9 ]. Particularly, the LV and Myocardium regions, which are known to be challenging due to complex shapes and variable intensity, showed significant improvement when ensemble predictions were applied [ 3 ][ 5 ]. The meta-learning approach, although using simple averaging due to a single class in training labels, contributed to the stability of ensemble predictions and reduced variability between model outputs. These findings are in line with previous studies on ensemble learning in medical image segmentation, which have reported enhanced accuracy and generalization compared to single models [ 1 ][ 4 ][ 6 ]. In addition, the ROC curves and confusion matrices indicate high sensitivity and specificity , especially for the Background and LV classes, which is crucial for clinical applicability. Overall, our approach demonstrates that combining complementary models can mitigate individual weaknesses and provide more reliable segmentation results [ 2 ][ 3 ][ 7 ][ 8 ]. Conclusion In this study, we proposed a comprehensive framework for clinical-grade cardiac MRI segmentation using an ensemble of improved UNet architectures. Our method achieves state-of-the-art Dice scores across all cardiac structures while maintaining high sensitivity and specificity. The ensemble approach effectively leverages complementary strengths of individual models, resulting in more robust and accurate predictions [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ]. The successful application of our framework on the CAMUS dataset [ 9 ] highlights its potential for integration into clinical workflows, enabling accurate and reliable cardiac structure delineation. Future work may explore advanced meta-learning strategies and multi-modal data integration to further enhance segmentation performance and generalization [ 4 ][ 5 ][ 6 ]. Limitations and Future Work Despite the promising results achieved by our ensemble UNet framework, there are several limitations that should be considered. First, the study was conducted using the CAMUS dataset [ 9 ], which, although widely used, has a limited number of subjects. This may affect the generalization of the model to larger and more diverse populations. Second, the meta-learner in our approach employed simple averaging due to the presence of a single class in the training features, which may limit the potential performance improvements that more sophisticated meta-learning strategies could provide [ 1 ][ 2 ]. For future work, integrating multi-modal cardiac imaging data, such as combining MRI with echocardiography or CT scans, could improve segmentation accuracy and robustness. Additionally, exploring more advanced meta-learning strategies and uncertainty estimation techniques may further enhance model reliability and clinical applicability. Finally, expanding the dataset with multi-center data would help validate the generalizability of the ensemble approach across different patient populations and imaging devices [ 3 ][ 4 ][ 5 ].
