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…

Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the gold standard in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) imaging. Detection of the end-diastolic frame (EDF) and, in general, cardiac phase detection on each temporal frame of a coronary angiography…

Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA) images are considered the gold standard for assessing the state of the coronary arteries. Deep learning classification methods are widely used and well-developed in different areas where medical imaging…

Echocardiogram video plays a crucial role in analysing cardiac function and diagnosing cardiac diseases. Current deep neural network methods primarily aim to enhance diagnosis accuracy by incorporating prior knowledge, such as segmenting…

Traditionally, medical discoveries are made by observing associations and then designing experiments to test these hypotheses. However, observing and quantifying associations in images can be difficult because of the wide variety of…

In this paper, we explored the use of deep learning for the prediction of aortic flow metrics obtained using 4D flow MRI using wearable seismocardiography (SCG) devices. 4D flow MRI provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular…

Vision-language foundation models have emerged as powerful general-purpose representation learners with strong potential for multimodal understanding, but their deterministic embeddings often fail to provide the reliability required for…

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…

Here we present a versatile foundation model that can perform a range of clinically-relevant image analysis tasks, including segmentation, landmark localisation, diagnosis, and prognostication. A multi-view convolution-transformer masked…

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) planning requires advanced spatial visualization and consideration of coronary artery depth, calcification, and pericardial adhesions. Objective: To develop and evaluate a dynamic…

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…

Diagnostic investigation has an important role in risk stratification and clinical decision making of patients with suspected and documented Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). However, the majority of existing tools are primarily focused on the…

We propose a deep learning-based technique for detection and quantification of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The condition, which leads to more than 10,000 deaths per year in the United States, is asymptomatic, often detected…

In stable coronary artery disease (CAD), reduction in mortality and/or myocardial infarction with revascularization over medical therapy has not been reliably achieved. Coronary arteries are usually extracted to perform stenosis detection.…

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…

Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is the clinical standard for myocardial strain estimation. Despite good performance on global strain (GLS), its accuracy for regional strain remains limited, even though this biomarker is highly…

Automatic segmentation of anatomical structures is critical for many medical applications. However, the results are not always clinically acceptable and require tedious manual revision. Here, we present a novel concept called artificial…

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is highly predictive of cardiovascular events. While millions of chest CT scans are performed annually in the United States, CAC is not routinely quantified from scans done for non-cardiac purposes. A deep…

Accurate cardiac output (CO) estimation from photoplethysmography (PPG) is promising for unobtrusive hemodynamic monitoring, but remains difficult since CO is jointly determined by cardiac function and vascular tone. Conventional…

Accurate and rapid estimation of hemodynamic metrics, such as pressure and wall shear stress (WSS), is important for assessing the severity of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Existing approaches, including invasive Fractional Flow Reserve…
