Exploring the Incremental Value of Aorta Enhancement Normalization Method in Evaluating Renal Cell Carcinoma Histological Subtypes: A Multi-center Large Cohort Study.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The classification of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) histological subtypes plays a crucial role in clinical diagnosis. However, traditional image normalization methods often struggle with discrepancies arising from differences i...

A spectral machine learning approach to derive central aortic pressure waveforms from a brachial cuff.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Analyzing cardiac pulse waveforms offers valuable insights into heart health and cardiovascular disease risk, although obtaining the more informative measurements from the central aorta remains challenging due to their invasive nature and limited non...

Association Between Aortic Imaging Features and Impaired Glucose Metabolism: A Deep Learning Population Phenotyping Approach.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Type 2 diabetes is a known risk factor for vascular disease with an impact on the aorta. The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning framework for quantification of aortic phenotypes from magnetic resonance imaging ...

Generalizability, robustness, and correction bias of segmentations of thoracic organs at risk in CT images.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess and compare two state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for segmenting four thoracic organs at riskĀ (OAR)-the esophagus, trachea, heart, and aorta-in CT images in the context of radiotherapy planning.

Development of a Self-Deploying Extra-Aortic Compression Device for Medium-Term Hemodynamic Stabilization: A Feasibility Study.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Hemodynamic stabilization is crucial in managing acute cardiac events, where compromised blood flow can lead to severe complications and increased mortality. Conditions like decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock require rapid and eff...

Pinning down the accuracy of physics-informed neural networks under laminar and turbulent-like aortic blood flow conditions.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are increasingly being used to model cardiovascular blood flow. The accuracy of PINNs is dependent on flow complexity and could deteriorate in the presence of highly-dynamical blood flow conditions...

CIS-UNet: Multi-class segmentation of the aorta in computed tomography angiography via context-aware shifted window self-attention.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Advancements in medical imaging and endovascular grafting have facilitated minimally invasive treatments for aortic diseases. Accurate 3D segmentation of the aorta and its branches is crucial for interventions, as inaccurate segmentation can lead to ...

Feasibility of Ultra-low Radiation and Contrast Medium Dosage in Aortic CTA Using Deep Learning Reconstruction at 60 kVp: An Image Quality Assessment.

Academic radiology
OBJECTIVE: To assess the viability of using ultra-low radiation and contrast medium (CM) dosage in aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA) through the application of low tube voltage (60kVp) and a novel deep learning image reconstruction algorit...

A machine learning algorithm for creating isotropic 3D aortic segmentations from routine cardiac MR localizers.

Magnetic resonance imaging
BACKGROUND: The identification and measurement of aortic aneurysms is an important clinical problem. While specialized high-resolution 3D CMR sequences allow detailed aortic assessment, they are time-consuming which limits their use in screening rout...

SeqSeg: Learning Local Segments for Automatic Vascular Model Construction.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Computational modeling of cardiovascular function has become a critical part of diagnosing, treating and understanding cardiovascular disease. Most strategies involve constructing anatomically accurate computer models of cardiovascular structures, wh...
