Echocardiography is a critical tool for detecting heart diseases, yet its steep operational difficulty causes a shortage of skilled personnel. Probe guidance systems, which assist in acquiring high-quality images, offer a promising solution…
The complex structure of the heart leads to significant challenges in echocardiography, especially in acquisition cardiac ultrasound images. Successful echocardiography requires a thorough understanding of the structures on the…
Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are an established technique to screen for abnormal cardiac signals. Recent work has established that it is possible to detect arrhythmia directly from the ECG signal using deep learning algorithms. While a few…
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) offers detailed evaluation of cardiac structure and function, but its limited accessibility restricts use to selected patient populations. In contrast, the electrocardiogram (ECG) is ubiquitous and…
We propose a method for generating an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal for one cardiac cycle using a variational autoencoder. Using this method we extracted a vector of new 25 features, which in many cases can be interpreted. The generated…
Cardiac ultrasound imaging is used to diagnose various heart diseases. Common analysis pipelines involve manual processing of the video frames by expert clinicians. This suffers from intra- and inter-observer variability. We propose a novel…
View planning for the acquisition of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) requires acquaintance with the cardiac anatomy and remains a challenging task in clinical practice. Existing approaches to its automation relied either on an…
Chest radiographs are commonly performed low-cost exams for screening and diagnosis. However, radiographs are 2D representations of 3D structures causing considerable clutter impeding visual inspection and automated image analysis. Here, we…
Echocardiogram is the most commonly used imaging modality in cardiac assessment duo to its non-invasive nature, real-time capability, and cost-effectiveness. Despite its advantages, most clinical echocardiograms provide only two-dimensional…
Monitoring the cardiac function often relies on non-invasive vital measurements, electrocardiograms, and low-resolution echocardiograms. The monitoring data can be augmented with numerical modeling results to support treatment-risk…
The left ventricular of ejection fraction is one of the most important metric of cardiac function. It is used by cardiologist to identify patients who are eligible for lifeprolonging therapies. However, the assessment of ejection fraction…
A radiograph visualizes the internal anatomy of a patient through the use of X-ray, which projects 3D information onto a 2D plane. Hence, radiograph analysis naturally requires physicians to relate the prior about 3D human anatomy to 2D…
Due to the inter- and intra- variation of respiratory motion, it is highly desired to provide real-time volumetric images during the treatment delivery of lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for accurate and active motion…
Accurate segmentation of the heart is an important step towards evaluating cardiac function. In this paper, we present a fully automated framework for segmentation of the left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular cavities and the myocardium…
3D GAN inversion aims to project a single image into the latent space of a 3D Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), thereby achieving 3D geometry reconstruction. While there exist encoders that achieve good results in 3D GAN inversion, they…
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a key indicator of cardiac function and plays a central role in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease. Echocardiography, as a readily accessible and non-invasive imaging…
In this work, we propose a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) - Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) model that can produce highly realistic MRI together with its pixel accurate groundtruth for the application of cine-MR image cardiac…
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widely used tool for assessing cardiac function due to its low cost and accessibility. Emergent research shows that ECGs can help make predictions on key outcomes traditionally derived from more complex…
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and the leading cause of neonate death in China. Clinical diagnosis can be based on the selected 2D key-frames from five views. Limited by the availability of multi-view data,…
Intraoperative shape reconstruction of organs from endoscopic camera images is a complex yet indispensable technique for image-guided surgery. To address the uncertainty in reconstructing entire shapes from single-viewpoint occluded images,…
