# 🫀 Aortic Valve Detection Model (AoVdetector)


## Description

This model detects the **aortic valve in echocardiogram images** from the following views:
- PLAX (Parasternal Long Axis)
- PSAX (Parasternal Short Axis)
- 3CH (Three-Chamber View)

The detection model is based on **Faster R-CNN with a ResNet-50 backbone**, pretrained on the **COCO dataset (COCO_V1)** and fine-tuned for cardiac ultrasound images.

## Model Details

- **Repository:** https://github.com/CardiovascularImagingVallHebron/AoVdetector  
- **Developed in:** Python  
- **Model type:** Object Detection  
- **Architecture:** Faster R-CNN (ResNet-50)
