Comorbidities such as anemia or hypertension and physiological factors related to exertion can influence a patient's hemodynamics and increase the severity of many cardiovascular diseases. Observing and quantifying associations between these factors ...
Cardiac and aortic characteristics are crucial for cardiovascular disease detection. However, noninvasive estimation of aortic hemodynamics and cardiac contractility is still challenging. This paper investigated the potential of estimating aortic sys...

The large number of available MRI sequences means patients cannot realistically undergo them all, so the range of sequences to be acquired during a scan are protocolled based on clinical details. Adapting this to unexpected findings identified early ...
Diagnosis of endoleak following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) relies on manual review of multi-slice CT angiography (CTA) by physicians which is a tedious and time-consuming process that is susceptible to error. We evaluate the use of a deep neur...
BACKGROUND: Existing methods to reconstruct vascular structures from a computerized tomography (CT) angiogram rely on contrast injection to enhance the radio-density within the vessel lumen. However, pathological changes in the vasculature may be pre...

PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can partially replace X-ray guidance in minimally invasive procedures, reducing radiation in the OR. However, in this hybrid setting, EMT is disturbed by metallic distortion caused by the X-ray device. We plan ...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to construct a risk prediction model for distal aortic enlargement in patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) treated with proximal thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
Modeling of hemodynamics and artificial intelligence have great potential to support clinical diagnosis and decision making. While hemodynamics modeling is extremely time- and resource-consuming, machine learning (ML) typically requires large trainin...
Imaging-based measurements form the basis of surgical decision making in patients with aortic aneurysm. Unfortunately, manual measurement suffer from suboptimal temporal reproducibility, which can lead to delayed or unnecessary intervention. We teste...
