Abstract

In this chapter we present a neural network architecture to recognize if the echocardiogram image corresponds to a person with a heart disease or is an image of a person with a normal heart, so that it can facilitate the medical diagnosis of the person that may hold an illness. One of the most used methods for the detection and analysis of diseases in the human body by doctors and specialists is the use of medical imaging. These images become one of the possible means to achieve a safe estimate of the severity of the injuries and thus to initiate treatment for the benefit of the patient.
