A heart-convolutional neural network (heart-CNN) was developed and tested for the automatic detection of left atrial enlargement (LAE) from feline thoracic radiographs. A retrospective and multicenter study was performed. Right lateral and dorso-vent...
The increased utilization of echocardiography in clinical practice has witnessed a substantial rise, underscoring its pivotal role as a diagnostic tool for various cardiovascular conditions. However, due to the relative scarcity of echocardiography t...
Evaluation of ejection fraction (EF) is paramount for patients with symptoms of heart failure. While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most common way to evaluate EF, recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have opened the door for ...

Accurate myocardial segmentation in myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) images remains challenging due to the scarcity of publicly available labeled datasets and the pervasive presence of speckle noise.Currently, echocardiographers must manual...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Accurate, timely quantification of cardiac function is central to the diagnosis, management, and monitoring of cardiovascular disease. This review synthesizes recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) applications across the ...
BACKGROUND: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) contributes to over 30% of late-pregnancy stillbirth, yet its diagnosis is challenging because current methods rely on indirect surrogate markers (estimated fetal weight and umbilical artery) that often fail...
One of the main challenges in current research on segmentation in cardiac ultrasound is the lack of large and varied labeled datasets and the differences in annotation conventions between datasets. This makes it difficult to design robust segmentatio...
BACKGROUND: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) bears the highest global burden of under-5 mortality, with congenital heart disease (CHD) as a major contributor. Despite advancements in high-income countries, CHD-related mortality in SSA remains largely unchang...
One of the common challenges in medical artificial intelligence (AI) applications using echocardiography is the lack of image data harmonization. This study aims to improve the prediction accuracy of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) AI model...
Echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (Echo-LVH) is frequently underdetected by traditional electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria due to limited sensitivity. We investigated whether integrating ECG with vectorcardiography (VCG) using a clinically...
