PURPOSE: This study sought to establish a robust and fully automated Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) segmentation method by leveraging the emerging deep learning techniques.
Utilizing the idea of long-term cumulative return, reinforcement learning (RL) has shown remarkable performance in various fields. We follow the formulation of landmark localization in 3D medical images as an RL problem. Whereas value-based methods h...
OBJECTIVES: This study developed a neural network to perform automated pressure waveform analysis and allow real-time accurate identification of damping.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Wave reflection in aorta has been shown to have incremental value for predicting cardiovascular events. However, its estimation by wave separation analysis (WSA) is complex.
We suggest a novel method to classify the type of tissue that is being ablated, using the recorded acoustic sound waves during pulsed ultraviolet laser ablation. The motivation of the current research is tissue classification during vascular interven...

BACKGROUND: Phase contrast (PC) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is widely employed for flow quantification, but analysis typically requires time consuming manual segmentation which can require human correction. Advances in machine learning ha...
Automatic event detection in cell videos is essential for monitoring cell populations in biomedicine. Deep learning methods have advantages over traditional approaches for cell event detection due to their ability to capture more discriminative featu...
