Current guidelines on atrial fibrillation (AF) emphasized that radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) should be decided after fully considering its prognosis. However, a robust prediction model reflecting the complex interactions between the feature...

BACKGROUND: Several algorithms have been proposed for differentiating the right and left outflow tracts (RVOT/LVOT) arrhythmia origins from 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs); however, the procedure is complicated. A deep learning (DL) model, a form o...

BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it the problem of AF recurrence remains. This study investigates whether a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) can accurately predi...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate left atrial shape differences on CT scans of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with (AF+) versus without (AF-) post-ablation recurrence and whether these shape differences predict AF recurrence.
Percutaneous thermal ablation is a validated treatment option for small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Steatotic HCC can be reliably detected by magnetic resonance imaging. To determine the clinical relevance of this radiological variant, we include...

BACKGROUND: Non-pulmonary vein (NPV) trigger has been reported as an important predictor of recurrence post-atrial fibrillation ablation. Elimination of NPV triggers can reduce the recurrence of postablation atrial fibrillation. Deep learning was app...
The goal of this study was to propose and validate a control framework with level-2 autonomy (task autonomy) for the control of flexible ablation catheters. To this end, a kinematic model for the flexible portion of typical ablation catheters was dev...
