In recent years, deep learning (DL)-based automatic view classification of 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) has demonstrated strong performance, but has not fully addressed key clinical requirements such as view coverage, classification accura...
Heart failure (HF) remains a significant public health challenge with high mortality rates. Machine learning (ML) techniques offer a promising approach to predict HF mortality, potentially improving clinical outcomes. However, the effectiveness of th...
Big data can revolutionize research and quality improvement for cardiac ultrasound. Text reports are a critical part of such analyses. Cardiac ultrasound reports include structured and free text and vary across institutions, hampering attempts to min...

BACKGROUND: Despite the poor outcomes related to the presence of pulmonary hypertension, it often goes undiagnosed in part because of low suspicion and screening tools not being easily accessible such as echocardiography. A new readily available scre...
Temporal echocardiography image registration is important for cardiac motion estimation, myocardial strain assessments, and stroke volume quantifications. Deep learning image registration (DLIR) is a promising way to achieve consistent and accurate r...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and compare methods to automatically estimate regional ultrasound image quality for echocardiography separate from view correctness.
Diagnostic cardiologists have considerable clinical demand for precise segmentation of echocardiography to diagnose cardiovascular disease. The paradox is that manual segmentation of echocardiography is a time-consuming and operator-dependent task. C...
BACKGROUND: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the primary modality for diagnosing aortic stenosis (AS), yet it requires skilled operators and can be resource-intensive. We developed and validated an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system for...
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) function has a well-established prognostic role in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and is typically assessed using echocardiography-measured tricusp...
PURPOSE: Left atrial thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast (LAT/SEC) are widely recognized as significant contributors to cardiogenic embolism in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This study aimed to construct and validate an interpretable pre...
