A novel intelligent grade classification architecture for Patent Foramen Ovale by Contrast Transthoracic Echocardiography based on deep learning.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke. Due to the complex characteristics of contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE), PFO classification is time-consuming and laborious in clinical practice. For this reason, a...

An Artificial Intelligence-Driven Approach for Automatic Evaluation of Right-to-Left Shunt Grades in Saline-Contrasted Transthoracic Echocardiography.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
BACKGROUND: Intracardiac or pulmonary right-to-left shunt (RLS) is a common cardiac anomaly associated with an increased risk of neurological disorders, specifically cryptogenic stroke. Saline-contrasted transthoracic echocardiography (scTTE) is ofte...

Robot-Assisted Transcranial Doppler Versus Transthoracic Echocardiography for Right to Left Shunt Detection.

Stroke
BACKGROUND: Right to left shunt (RLS), including patent foramen ovale, is a recognized risk factor for stroke. RLS/patent foramen ovale diagnosis is made by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which is insensitive, transesophageal echocardiography,...

Embolic Ischemic Cortical Stroke in a Young Flight Instructor with a Small Patent Foramen Ovale.

Aerospace medicine and human performance
BACKGROUND: Stroke in young patients is frequently associated with a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Controversy exists over whether the PFO is a cause, a risk factor, or an incidental finding. Estimating the individualized risk of stroke recurrence has ...
