We consider the problem of locating a point-source heart arrhythmia using data from a standard diagnostic procedure, where a reference catheter is placed in the heart, and arrival times from a second diagnostic catheter are recorded as the…
Cardiac parametric mapping is useful for evaluating cardiac fibrosis and edema. Parametric mapping relies on single-shot heartbeat-by-heartbeat imaging, which is susceptible to intra-shot motion during the imaging window. However, reducing…
The three-dimensional vascular model reconstructed from CT images is widely used in medical diagnosis. At different phases, the beating of the heart can cause deformation of vessels, resulting in different vascular imaging states and false…
In most medical image processing tasks, the orientation of an image would affect computing result. However, manually reorienting images wastes time and effort. In this paper, we study the problem of recognizing orientation in cardiac MRI…
Echocardiography is the most widely used cardiac imaging modality, capturing ultrasound video data to assess cardiac structure and function. Artificial intelligence (AI) in echocardiography has the potential to streamline manual tasks and…
Purpose: To develop a multi-criteria optimization framework for image guided radiotherapy. Methods: An algorithm is proposed for a multi-criteria framework for the purpose of patient setup verification decision processes. Optimal patient…
Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a top reason of mortality worldwide. This study introduces a novel approach by integrating patient-specific Multi-slice CT scans into CAD models and employing a one-dimensional numerical framework to…
Purpose: To develop a respiratory-resolved motion-compensation method for free-breathing, high-resolution coronary magnetic resonance angiography using a 3D cones trajectory. Methods: To achieve respiratory-resolved 0.98 mm resolution…
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…
Three-dimensional Digital Subtraction Angiography (3D-DSA) is a well-established X-ray-based technique for visualizing vascular anatomy. Recently, four-dimensional DSA (4D-DSA) reconstruction algorithms have been developed to enable the…
Continuously measured arterial blood velocity can provide insight into physiological parameters and potential disease states. The efficient and effective description of the temporal profiles of arterial velocity is crucial for both clinical…
Intrasaccular flow disruptors treat cerebral aneurysms by diverting the blood flow from the aneurysm sac. Residual flow into the sac after the intervention is a failure that could be due to the use of an undersized device, or to vascular…
Robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is constrained by the inherent limitations of 2D Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA). Unlike physicians, who can directly manipulate guidewires and integrate tactile feedback with…
We explore the potential of our novel triaxial modeling machinery in recovering the viewing angles, the shape and the orbit distribution of galaxies by using a high-resolution $N$-body merger simulation. Our modelling technique includes…
Anatomical and biophysical modeling of left atrium (LA) and proximal pulmonary veins (PPVs) is important for clinical management of several cardiac diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows qualitative assessment of LA and PPVs…
The analysis of quantitative hemodynamics and luminal pressure may add valuable information to aid treatment strategies and prognosis for aortic dissections. This work directly compared in vitro 4D-flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),…
In cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, a 3D high-resolution segmentation of the heart is essential for detailed description of its anatomical structures. However, due to the limit of acquisition duration and respiratory/cardiac…
Three-dimensional (3D) and dynamic 3D+time (4D) reconstruction of coronary arteries from X-ray coronary angiography (CA) has the potential to improve clinical procedures. However, there are multiple challenges to be addressed, most notably,…
Advanced surgical procedures for congenital heart diseases (CHDs) require precise planning before the surgeries. The conventional approach utilizes 3D-printing and cutting physical heart models, which is a time and resource intensive…
In the last decade C-arm-based cone-beam CT became a widely used modality for intraoperative imaging. Typically a C-arm scan is performed using a circle-like trajectory around a region of interest. Therefor an angular range of at least…
