INTRODUCTION: Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can evaluate for systolic and diastolic dysfunction to inform care in the Emergency Department (ED). However, accurate assessment can be limited by user experience. Artificial intelligence (AI) h...
Fetal echocardiography, a specialized ultrasound application commonly utilized for fetal heart assessment, can greatly benefit from automated segmentation of anatomical structures, aiding operators in their evaluations. We introduce a novel approach ...
BACKGROUND: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is recognized as a powerful predictor of heart failure (HF). However, the entire strain curve may entail important prognostic information regarding HF risk that might be undiscovered by only focusing on th...
BACKGROUND: Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that poses a substantial health care and economic burden on health care systems. Administrative diagnostic codes for ascertaining VHD diagnosis are ...
OBJECTIVE: Achieving reliable automatic left ventricle (LV) segmentation from echocardiograms is challenging due to the inherent sparsity of annotations in the dataset, as clinicians typically only annotate two specific frames for diagnostic purposes...

In this paper, we propose a new deep learning method based on Quaternion Wavelet Transform (QWT) phases of 2D echocardiographic sequences to estimate the motion and strain of myocardium. The proposed method considers intensity and phases gained from ...
BACKGROUND: Regional Wall Motion Abnormality (RWMA) serves as an early indicator of myocardial infarction (MI), the global leader in mortality. Accurate and early detection of RWMA is vital for the successful treatment of MI. Current automated echoca...
