Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare and severe congenital heart disease. Quadricuspid valve morphology occurs in 25% of all TA patients and is linked to regurgitation and increased risk of re-operation. It remains unclear how hemodynamic…

Consistency and duplicability in Computed Tomography (CT) output is essential to quantitative imaging for lung cancer detection and monitoring. This study of CT-detected lung nodules investigated the reproducibility of volume-, density-,…

The cardiologist's main tool for measuring systolic heart failure is left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Trained cardiologist's report both a visual and machine-guided measurement of LVEF, but only use this machine-guided measurement…

Heart rate variability (HRV), defined as the variability between consecutive heartbeats, is a surrogate measure of cardiac vagal tone. It is widely accepted that a decreased HRV is associated to several risk factors and cardiovascular…

Cardiac left ventricle (LV) quantification is among the most clinically important tasks for identification and diagnosis of cardiac diseases, yet still a challenge due to the high variability of cardiac structure and the complexity of…

Hyper-trabeculation or non-compaction in the left ventricle of the myocardium (LVNC) is a recently classified form of cardiomyopathy. Several methods have been proposed to quantify the trabeculae accurately in the left ventricle, but there…

Due to silence in early stages, lung cancer has been one of the most leading causes of mortality in cancer patients world-wide. Moreover, major symptoms of lung cancer are hard to differentiate with other respiratory disease symptoms such…

The precise and safe control of heavy material handling machines presents numerous challenges due to the hard-to-model hydraulically actuated joints and the need for collision-free trajectory planning with a free-swinging end-effector tool.…

Combined extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) pose complex hemodynamic challenges in intensive care. In this study, a comprehensive lumped parameter model (LPM) is developed to simulate…

Pulmonary hypertension is a cardiovascular disorder manifested by elevated arterial blood pressure together with vessel wall stiffening and thickening due to alterations in collagen, elastin and smooth muscle cells. Hypoxia-induced (type 3)…

Carbon-ion radiotherapy provides high dose conformity for lung cancer, but its benefit is limited by two sources of uncertainties: interplay between scanned beam delivery and tumor motion, and dose modulation from heterogeneous lung tissue.…

The heart is the central part of the cardiovascular network. Its role is to pump blood to various body organs. Many cardiovascular diseases occur due to an abnormal functioning of the heart. A diseased heart leads to severe complications…

Vision-Language-Action models (VLA) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities and promising potential in solving complex robotic manipulation tasks. However, their substantial parameter sizes and high inference latency pose significant…

One of the first steps in the diagnosis of most cardiac diseases, such as pulmonary hypertension, coronary heart disease is the segmentation of ventricles from cardiac magnetic resonance (MRI) images. Manual segmentation of the right…

Pulmonary diseases are a public health problem that requires accurate and fast diagnostic techniques. In this paper, a method based on convolutional neural networks (CNN), Data Augmentation, ResNet50 and Vision Transformers (ViT) is…

Deep neural networks have delivered remarkable performance and have been widely used in various visual tasks. However, their huge size causes significant inconvenience for transmission and storage. Many previous studies have explored model…

Left ventricular torsion from helically oriented myofibers is a key parameter of cardiac performance. Physicians observing heart motion on echocardiograms, during cardiac catheterization, or in the operating room, are impressed by the…

Post-stroke MRI not only delineates focal lesions but also reveals secondary structural changes, such as atrophy and ventricular enlargement. These abnormalities, increasingly recognised as imaging biomarkers of recovery and outcome, remain…

Ventriloquism After-Effect is the phenomenon where sustained exposure to the ventriloquist illusion causes a change in unisensory auditory localization towards the location where the visual stimulus was present. We investigate the…

Accurate segmentation of vascular networks is essential for computer-aided tools designed to address cardiovascular diseases. Despite more than thirty years of research, it remains a challenge to obtain vascular segmentation results that…
