Convolutional neural network (CNN) based segmentation methods provide an efficient and automated way for clinicians to assess the structure and function of the heart in cardiac MR images. While CNNs can generally perform the segmentation…
Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA), regarded as the gold standard for CAD diagnosis, necessitates precise vessel segmentation and stenosis…
Recently, machine learning has been successfully applied to model-based left ventricle (LV) segmentation. The general framework involves two stages, which starts with LV localization and is followed by boundary delineation. Both are driven…
Deep learning has demonstrated remarkable achievements in medical image segmentation. However, prevailing deep learning models struggle with poor generalization due to (i) intra-class variations, where the same class appears differently in…
Accurate identification of arteries and veins in ultrasound images is crucial for vascular examinations and interventions in robotics-assisted surgeries. However, current methods for ultrasound vessel segmentation face challenges in…
Deep learning models have achieved significant success in segmenting cardiovascular structures, but there is a growing need to improve their generalization and robustness. Current methods often face challenges such as overfitting and…
Segmentation of image sequences is an important task in medical image analysis, which enables clinicians to assess the anatomy and function of moving organs. However, direct application of a segmentation algorithm to each time frame of a…
Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) is an imaging technique that assesses left ventricle function and myocardial perfusion for the detection of coronary artery diseases. Automatic MCE perfusion quantification is challenging and…
Cerebrovascular disease is one of the major diseases facing the world today. Automatic segmentation of intracranial artery (IA) in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) sequences is an important step in the diagnosis of vascular related…
In recent years, research has highlighted the association between increased adipose tissue surrounding the human heart and elevated susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases such as atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease. However,…
The automated segmentation of Intracranial Arteries (IA) in Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) plays a crucial role in the quantification of vascular morphology, significantly contributing to computer-assisted stroke research and…
The application of deep learning models to large-scale data sets requires means for automatic quality assurance. We have previously developed a fully automatic algorithm for carotid artery wall segmentation in black-blood MRI that we aim to…
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging modality that can acquire high-resolution volumes of the retinal vasculature and aid the diagnosis of ocular, neurological and cardiac diseases. Segmenting the…
The amount of fat on the surroundings of the heart is correlated to several health risk factors such as carotid stiffness, coronary artery calcification, atrial fibrillation, atherosclerosis, cancer incidence and others. Furthermore, the…
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…
This paper proposes a novel framework for the segmentation of phonocardiogram (PCG) signals into heart states, exploiting the temporal evolution of the PCG as well as considering the salient information that it provides for the detection of…
Accelerating the acquisition of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a challenging problem, and many works have been proposed to reconstruct images from undersampled k-space data. However, if the main purpose is to extract certain…
Whole-heart multi-compartment CT segmentation is clinically important, but standard CNNs do not explicitly enforce anatomical plausibility. Based on statistics derived from the training data, we evaluate whether lightweight explicit shape…
CAD remains a major global public health burden, yet scalable screening tools are limited. Although CCTA is a first-line non-invasive diagnostic modality, its use is constrained by resource requirements and radiation exposure. AI-ECG may…
Purpose of Review Recently, machine learning has developed rapidly in the field of medicine, playing an important role in disease diagnosis. Our aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the advancements in machine learning techniques…
