Myocarditis is a significant cardiovascular disease (CVD) that poses a threat to the health of many individuals by causing damage to the myocardium. The occurrence of microbes and viruses, including the likes of HIV, plays a crucial role in…

Cardiovascular diseases are a pervasive global health concern, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Among these conditions, arrhythmia, characterized by irregular heart rhythms, presents formidable…

In the era of digital medicine, medical imaging serves as a widespread technique for early disease detection, with a substantial volume of images being generated and stored daily in electronic patient records. X-ray angiography imaging is a…

Coronary heart disease is a common cause of death despite being preventable. To treat the underlying plaque deposits in the arterial walls, intravascular optical coherence tomography can be used by experts to detect and characterize the…

Early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is critical for reducing mortality and improving patient treatment planning. While angiographic image analysis from X-rays is a common and cost-effective method for identifying cardiac…

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…

Coronary artery disease, the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide, can be assessed non-invasively by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Despite progress in automated CCTA analysis using deep learning, clinical…

Background: Coronary angiography (CAG) is a cornerstone imaging modality for assessing coronary artery disease and guiding interventional treatment decisions. However, in real-world clinical settings, angiographic images are often…

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading causes of death around the world. One of the most common imaging methods for diagnosing this disease is X-ray angiography. Diagnosing using these images is usually challenging due to non-uniform…

Cardiovascular disease (CD) is the number one leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for more than 17 million deaths in 2015. Critical indicators of CD include heart murmurs, intense sounds emitted by the heart during periods of…

Cardiac MRI allows for a comprehensive assessment of myocardial structure, function and tissue characteristics. Here we describe a foundational vision system for cardiac MRI, capable of representing the breadth of human cardiovascular…

Head Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scan remain the preferred primary imaging modality due to their widespread availability and speed. However, the current standard for manual annotations of abnormal brain tissue on head NCCT scans…

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) methods - in particular, deep learning (DL) - has been on the rise lately for the analysis of different CVD-related…

Coronary angiography is considered to be a safe tool for the evaluation of coronary artery disease and perform in approximately 12 million patients each year worldwide. [1] In most cases, angiograms are manually analyzed by a cardiologist.…

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of adult death in the United States and worldwide, and for which the coronary angiography procedure is the primary gateway for diagnosis and clinical management decisions. The…

We propose a deep learning-based automatic coronary artery tree centerline tracker (AuCoTrack) extending the vessel tracker by Wolterink (arXiv:1810.03143). A dual pathway Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) operating on multi-scale 3D…

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…

Advanced atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries is one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide while being preventable and treatable. In order to image atherosclerotic lesions (plaque), intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT)…

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events, with CT-based Agatston scoring widely regarded as the clinical gold standard. However, CT is costly and impractical for large-scale screening, while chest…

The objective of this study is to develop a deep-learning based detection and diagnosis technique for carotid atherosclerosis using a portable freehand 3D ultrasound (US) imaging system. A total of 127 3D carotid artery scans were acquired…
