Perfusion analysis computes blood flow parameters (blood volume, blood flow, mean transit time) from the observed flow of contrast agent, passing through the patient's vascular system. Perfusion deconvolution has been widely accepted as the…
The Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) score is an important metric for reperfusion therapy assessment in acute ischemic stroke. It is commonly used as a technical outcome measure after endovascular treatment (EVT). Existing TICI…
Deep-learning (DL)-based methods have shown significant promise in denoising myocardial perfusion SPECT images acquired at low dose. For clinical application of these methods, evaluation on clinical tasks is crucial. Typically, these…
Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, is a critical health condition caused by restricted blood flow to the heart. Early-stage detection through continuous ECG monitoring is essential to minimize irreversible damage.…
Detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of cardiac arrhythmia, is difficult since many cases of AF are usually clinically silent and undiagnosed. In particular paroxysmal AF is a form of AF that occurs occasionally, and has a higher…
Despite its high prevalence, anemia is often undetected due to the invasiveness and cost of screening and diagnostic tests. Though some non-invasive approaches have been developed, they are less accurate than invasive methods, resulting in…
Images with abnormal brain anatomy produce problems for automatic segmentation techniques, and as a result poor ROI detection affects both quantitative measurements and visual assessment of perfusion data. This paper presents a new approach…
Although Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is the most important imaging for visualizing cerebrovascular anatomy, its interpretation by clinicians remains difficult. This is particularly true when treating arteriovenous malformations…
There is an important need for methods to process myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) SPECT images acquired at lower radiation dose and/or acquisition time such that the processed images improve observer performance on the clinical task of…
Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWI) is widely used for early cerebral infarct detection caused by ischemic stroke. Manual segmentation is done by a radiologist as a common clinical process, nonetheless, challenges of…

This paper explores the use of deep learning-based computer vision for real-time monitoring of the flow in intravenous (IV) infusions. IV infusions are among the most common therapies in hospitalized patients and, given that both…
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the world's leading cause of mortality and the disease burden is continually expanding as the population ages. Recently, the MR-INFORM randomised trial has demonstrated that the management of patients…
Motion free reconstruction of compressively sampled cardiac perfusion MR images is a challenging problem. It is due to the aliasing artifacts and the rapid contrast changes in the reconstructed perfusion images. In addition to the…
Medical instrument detection is essential for computer-assisted interventions since it would facilitate the surgeons to find the instrument efficiently with a better interpretation, which leads to a better outcome. This article reviews…
The impulse response function (IRF) of a localized bolus in cerebral blood flow codes important information on the tissue type. It is indirectly accessible both from MR- and CT-imaging methods, at least in principle. In practice, however,…
