Impact of training data composition on the generalizability of convolutional neural network aortic cross-section segmentation in four-dimensional magnetic resonance flow imaging.

Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
BACKGROUND: Four-dimensional cardiovascular magnetic resonance flow imaging (4D flow CMR) plays an important role in assessing cardiovascular diseases. However, the manual or semi-automatic segmentation of aortic vessel boundaries in 4D flow data int...

A Coarse-Fine Collaborative Learning Model for Three Vessel Segmentation in Fetal Cardiac Ultrasound Images.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequent birth defect and a leading cause of infant mortality, emphasizing the crucial need for its early diagnosis. Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for prenatal CHD screening. As a complement to ...

Physics-informed neural networks for parameter estimation in blood flow models.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for solving inverse problems, especially in cases where no complete information about the system is known and scatter measurements are available. This is especially ...

Heart and great vessels segmentation in congenital heart disease via CNN and conditioned energy function postprocessing.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The segmentation of the heart and great vessels in CT images of congenital heart disease (CHD) is critical for the clinical assessment of cardiac anomalies and the diagnosis of CHD. However, the diverse types and abnormalities inherent in CH...

Aorta Segmentation in 3D CT Images by Combining Image Processing and Machine Learning Techniques.

Cardiovascular engineering and technology
PURPOSE: Aorta segmentation is extremely useful in clinical practice, allowing the diagnosis of numerous pathologies, such as dissections, aneurysms and occlusive disease. In such cases, image segmentation is prerequisite for applying diagnostic algo...

Performance of Fourier-based activation function in physics-informed neural networks for patient-specific cardiovascular flows.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) can be used to inversely model complex physical systems by encoding the governing partial differential equations and training data into the neural network. However, neural networks a...

An Anatomy- and Topology-Preserving Framework for Coronary Artery Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Coronary artery segmentation is critical for coronary artery disease diagnosis but challenging due to its tortuous course with numerous small branches and inter-subject variations. Most existing studies ignore important anatomical information and vas...

CT angiography prior to endovascular procedures: can artificial intelligence improve reporting?

Physical and engineering sciences in medicine
CT angiography prior to endovascular aortic surgery is the standard non-invasive imaging method for evaluation of aortic dimensions and access sites. A detailed report is crucial to a proper planning. We assessed Artificial Intelligence (AI)-algorith...

Deep Learning-Based Analysis of Aortic Morphology From Three-Dimensional MRI.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: Quantification of aortic morphology plays an important role in the evaluation and follow-up assessment of patients with aortic diseases, but often requires labor-intensive and operator-dependent measurements. Automatic solutions would hel...

A precise blood transfusion evaluation model for aortic surgery: a single-center retrospective study.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Cardiac aortic surgery is an extremely complicated procedure that often requires large volume blood transfusions during the operation. Currently, it is not possible to accurately estimate the intraoperative blood transfusion volume before surgery. Th...
