PURPOSE: Conventional robotic ultrasound systems were utilized with patients in supine positions. Meanwhile, the limitation of the systems is that it is difficult to evacuate the patients in case of emergency (e.g., patient discomfort and system fail...
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is essential for evaluating left ventricular systolic function. However, its clinical calculation requires the physician to interactively segment the left ventricle and obtain the mitral annulus and apical la...

BACKGROUND: Significant interobserver and interstudy variability occurs for left ventricular (LV) functional indices despite standardization of measurement techniques. Artificial intelligence models trained on adult echocardiograms are not likely to ...
The segmentation of the left ventricle endocardium (LV) and the left ventricle epicardium (LV) in echocardiography plays an important role in clinical diagnosis. Recently, deep neural networks have been the most commonly used approach for echocardiog...

BACKGROUND: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a degenerative valve condition that is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Detection of AS using limited two-dimensional echocardiography could enable screening and improve appropriate referral and treatment of this c...
Echocardiography is the first-line diagnostic technique for heart diseases. Although artificial intelligence techniques have made great improvements in the analysis of echocardiography, the major limitations remain to be the built neural networks are...
