Hierarchical Class Incremental Learning of Anatomical Structures in Fetal Echocardiography Videos.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
This paper proposes an ultrasound video interpretation algorithm that enables novel classes or instances to be added over time, without significantly compromising prediction abilities on prior representations. The motivating application is diagnostic...

Deep Atlas Network for Efficient 3D Left Ventricle Segmentation on Echocardiography.

Medical image analysis
We proposed a novel efficient method for 3D left ventricle (LV) segmentation on echocardiography, which is important for cardiac disease diagnosis. The proposed method effectively overcame the 3D echocardiography's challenges: high dimensional data, ...

Machine Learning in Fetal Cardiology: What to Expect.

Fetal diagnosis and therapy
In fetal cardiology, imaging (especially echocardiography) has demonstrated to help in the diagnosis and monitoring of fetuses with a compromised cardiovascular system potentially associated with several fetal conditions. Different ultrasound approac...

DW-Net: A cascaded convolutional neural network for apical four-chamber view segmentation in fetal echocardiography.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Fetal echocardiography (FE) is a widely used medical examination for early diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). The apical four-chamber view (A4C) is an important view among early FE images. Accurate segmentation of crucial anatomical structu...

On Modelling Label Uncertainty in Deep Neural Networks: Automatic Estimation of Intra- Observer Variability in 2D Echocardiography Quality Assessment.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Uncertainty of labels in clinical data resulting from intra-observer variability can have direct impact on the reliability of assessments made by deep neural networks. In this paper, we propose a method for modelling such uncertainty in the context o...

MFP-Unet: A novel deep learning based approach for left ventricle segmentation in echocardiography.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
Segmentation of the Left ventricle (LV) is a crucial step for quantitative measurements such as area, volume, and ejection fraction. However, the automatic LV segmentation in 2D echocardiographic images is a challenging task due to ill-defined border...

ECG AI-Guided Screening for Low Ejection Fraction (EAGLE): Rationale and design of a pragmatic cluster randomized trial.

American heart journal
BACKGROUND: A deep learning algorithm to detect low ejection fraction (EF) using routine 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) has recently been developed and validated. The algorithm was incorporated into the electronic health record (EHR) to automaticall...

Clinical Significance of Circulating Cardiomyocyte-Specific Cell-Free DNA in Patients With Heart Failure: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
We investigated clinical significance of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in heart failure. This study enrolled 32 heart failure patients and 28 control subjects. Total cfDNA levels were not different between groups (P = 0.343). Bisulfite-digital polymerase cha...

A speckle-tracking strain-based artificial neural network model to differentiate cardiomyopathy type.

Scandinavian cardiovascular journal : SCJ
In heart failure, invasive angiography is often employed to differentiate ischaemic from non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy. We aim to examine the predictive value of echocardiographic strain features alone and in combination with other features to differ...
