Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death, underscoring the need for accurate assessment of myocardial injury. The current gold standard, bright-blood late gadolinium enhanced MRI, suffers from poor contrast at the blood-scar interf...
Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) imaging plays a crucial role in assessing myocardial scar tissues, aiding in the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, accurately classifying scar tissue severity...
Left ventricular (LV) scar is a major risk factor for sudden death and heart failure in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). LV scar evolves over time and needs longitudinal assessment. Currently, LV scar detection relies on late gadolinium enhancement...
Skin scar is a prevalent dermatological concern that impacts both aesthetic appearance and psychological well-being, making precise delineation of scar tissue essential for clinical treatment. To address the challenge of scar image segmentation, this...
Machine learning (ML) classification of myocardial scarring in cardiac MRI is often hindered by limited explainability, particularly with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). To address this, we developed One Match (OM), an algorithm that builds on ...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography is an inadequate method for detecting myocardial focal scar (MFS) due to its moderate density resolution, which is insufficient for distinguishing MFS from artificial beam-hardening (BH). Virtual monochromatic images (...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the added value of the late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)-scar radiomics features in predicting reverse left ventricular remodeling (r-LVR) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients using machine learning (...

OBJECTIVES: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) refers to a special type of pregnancy with a variable prognosis. We aimed to establish a prognostic classification system using ultrasound and clinical features to provide a reference for management strategie...
BACKGROUND: The surgical difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for acute cholecystitis (AC) and the risk of bile duct injury (BDI) depend on the degree of fibrosis and scarring caused by inflammation; therefore, understanding these intraope...

This work proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN) that utilizes different combinations of parametric images computed from cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images, to classify each slice for possible myocardial scar tissue presence. The CNN...
