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.…
Deep neural networks have been applied to audio spectrograms for respiratory sound classification. Existing models often treat the spectrogram as a synthetic image while overlooking its physical characteristics. In this paper, a Multi-View…
Chest X-ray imaging is commonly used to diagnose pneumonia, but accurately localizing the pneumonia-affected regions typically requires detailed pixel-level annotations, which are costly and time consuming to obtain. To address this…
Breathing is one of the most important body functions because it provides it with oxygen, which is vital for energy production. In addition, the removal of carbon dioxide actively regulates the acid-base level, which is essential for the…
Respiratory diseases remain major global health challenges, and traditional auscultation is often limited by subjectivity, environmental noise, and inter-clinician variability. This study presents an explainable multimodal deep learning…
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that is not fully reversible and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Early detection and diagnosis of COPD can increase the survival rate and…
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While this condition can be managed by administering controller medications through handheld inhalers, clinical studies have shown low adherence to the…
Coughing is a typical symptom of COVID-19. To detect and localize coughing sounds remotely, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning model was developed in this work and integrated with a sound camera for the visualization…
Automated detection of voice disorders with computational methods is a recent research area in the medical domain since it requires a rigorous endoscopy for the accurate diagnosis. Efficient screening methods are required for the diagnosis…
In this paper, we use pre-trained ResNet models as backbone architectures for classification of adventitious lung sounds and respiratory diseases. The knowledge of the pre-trained model is transferred by using vanilla fine-tuning,…
Respiratory diseases, including asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and upper respiratory tract infection (RTI), are among the most common diseases in clinics. The similarities among the symptoms of these diseases precludes prompt diagnosis upon…
This paper presents and explores a robust deep learning framework for auscultation analysis. This aims to classify anomalies in respiratory cycles and detect disease, from respiratory sound recordings. The framework begins with front-end…
Physicians routinely assess respiratory sounds during the diagnostic process, providing insight into the condition of a patient's airways. In recent years, AI-based diagnostic systems operating on respiratory sounds, have demonstrated…
Audio-based classification techniques on body sounds have long been studied to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory diseases. While most research is centered on the use of cough as the main biomarker, other body sounds also have the…
Respiratory symptoms can be a caused by different underlying conditions, and are often caused by viral infections, such as Influenza-like illnesses or other emerging viruses like the Coronavirus. These respiratory viruses, often, have…
In recent years, many innovative solutions for recording and viewing sounds from a stethoscope have become available. However, to fully utilize such devices, there is a need for an automated approach for detecting abnormal lung sounds,…
Listening to heart and lung sounds - auscultation - is one of the first and most fundamental steps in a clinical examination. Despite being fast and non-invasive, it demands years of experience to interpret subtle audio cues. Recent deep…
Early diagnosis of critical diseases can significantly improve patient survival and reduce treatment costs. However, existing diagnostic techniques are often costly, invasive, and inaccessible in low-resource regions. This paper presents a…
Lung auscultation is the most effective and indispensable method for diagnosing various respiratory disorders by using the sounds from the airways during inspirium and exhalation using a stethoscope. In this study, the statistical features…
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious and debilitating disease affecting millions around the world. Its early detection using non-invasive means could enable preventive interventions that improve quality of life and…
