Stroke is the second most frequent cause of death worldwide with a considerable economic burden on the health systems. In about 15% of strokes, atherosclerotic carotid plaques (ACPs) constitute the main etiological factor. Early detection…

Cortical lesions (CLs) have emerged as valuable biomarkers in multiple sclerosis (MS), offering high diagnostic specificity and prognostic relevance. However, their routine clinical integration remains limited due to subtle magnetic…

Stroke is widely considered as the second most common cause of mortality. The adverse consequences of stroke have led to global interest and work for improving the management and diagnosis of stroke. Various techniques for data mining have…

Stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability worldwide from which one in four people are in danger of incurring in their lifetime. The pre-hospital stroke assessment plays a vital role in identifying stroke patients accurately to…

For acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusions, clinicians must decide if the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MTB) outweighs the risks and potential complications following an invasive procedure. Pre-treatment…

According to the WHO, Cerebrovascular Stroke, or CS, is the second largest cause of death worldwide. Current diagnosis of CS relies on labor and cost intensive neuroimaging techniques, unsuitable for areas with inadequate access to quality…

Background: Stroke is second-leading cause of disability and death among adults. Approximately 17 million people suffer from a stroke annually, with about 85% being ischemic strokes. Predicting mortality of ischemic stroke patients in…

Rapid infarct assessment on non-contrast CT (NCCT) is essential for acute ischemic stroke management. Most deep learning methods perform pixel-wise segmentation without modeling the structured anatomical reasoning underlying ASPECTS…

Stroke is a common disabling neurological condition that affects about one-quarter of the adult population over age 25; more than half of patients still have poor outcomes, such as permanent functional dependence or even death, after the…

To determine if a convolutional neural network (CNN) deep learning model can accurately segment acute ischemic changes on non-contrast CT compared to neuroradiologists. Non-contrast CT (NCCT) examinations from 232 acute ischemic stroke…

Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a group of life threatening conditions of the aorta. We have developed an end-to-end automatic approach to detect AAS in computed tomography (CT) images. Our approach consists of two steps. At first, we…

Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) pose a significant challenge to emergency medical services by overwhelming available resources and personnel. Effective victim assessment is the key to minimizing casualties during such a crisis. We introduce…

When the blood supply to the brain is obstructed by a clot, oxygen delivery to brain tissues becomes insufficient, leading to cellular necrosis. In healthcare settings, accurately identifying and delineating ischemic lesion boundaries is…

Background Atrial fibrillation is often missed by traditional intermittent electrocardiogram monitoring after ischemic stroke due to its paroxysmal and asymptomatic nature. The knowledge of the unique characteristics of the population with…

Automatic identification of brain lesions from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of stroke survivors would be a useful aid in patient diagnosis and treatment planning. We propose a multi-modal multi-path convolutional neural network…

The patient with ischemic stroke can benefit most from the earliest possible definitive diagnosis. While the high quality medical resources are quite scarce across the globe, an automated diagnostic tool is expected in analyzing the…

Medical brain image analysis is a necessary step in Computer Assisted /Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems. Advancements in both hardware and software in the past few years have led to improved segmentation and classification of various diseases.…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is projected to increase substantially due to population aging, making early diagnosis increasingly important, as timely detection may delay progression and reduce long-term complications. Retinal microvasculature…

Deep learning based disease detection and segmentation algorithms promise to improve many clinical processes. However, such algorithms require vast amounts of annotated training data, which are typically not available in the medical context…

We develop a deep learning model, ABioSPATH, to predict the one-year risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. The model integrates drug-protein-disease pathways and real-world clinical data of AF patients to…
