Echocardiography (echo) is gaining popularity to guide the catheter during surgical procedures. However, it is difficult to discern the catheter tip in echo even with an acoustically active catheter. An acoustically active catheter is detected for th...
Motion estimation in echocardiography plays an important role in the characterization of cardiac function, allowing the computation of myocardial deformation indices. However, there exist limitations in clinical practice, particularly with regard to ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In this review we describe the use of artificial intelligence in the field of echocardiography. Various aspects and terminologies used in artificial intelligence are explained in an easy-to-understand manner and supplemented w...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Incomplete Kawasaki disease (KD) has often been misdiagnosed due to a lack of the clinical manifestations of classic KD. However, it is associated with a markedly higher prevalence of coronary artery lesions. Identifying cor...
BACKGROUND: Ejection fraction (EF) is a key parameter for assessing cardiovascular functions in cardiac ultrasound, but its manual assessment is time-consuming and subject to high inter and intra-observer variability. Deep learning-based methods have...

OBJECTIVES: To test if a deep learning (DL) model trained on echocardiography images could accurately segment the left ventricle (LV) and predict ejection fraction on apical 4-chamber images acquired by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).
BACKGROUND: Timely diagnosis of structural heart disease improves patient outcomes, yet many remain underdiagnosed. While population screening with echocardiography is impractical, ECG-based prediction models can help target high-risk patients. We de...

OBJECTIVES: Identifying patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and monitoring LVEF responses to treatment are important clinical goals. Can a deep-learning algorithm predict pediatric LVEF within clinically acceptable error?
Image regression tasks for medical applications, such as bone mineral density (BMD) estimation and left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) prediction, play an important role in computer-aided disease assessment. Most deep regression methods train t...
