A review of machine learning applications in heart health.

Biomedical engineering online
The application of machine learning in healthcare continues to gain attention as researchers attempt to prove its potential for the enhancement of diagnosis and prognosis accuracy. Although many applications of machine learning have been well studied...

Semi-supervised medical image segmentation based on multi-stage iterative training and high-confidence pseudo-labeling.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Due to the scarcity and high cost of pixel-level annotations for training data, semi-supervised learning has gradually become a key solution. Most existing methods rely on consistency regularization and pseudo-label generation, often adopting multi-b...

Investigating methods to enhance interpretability and performance in cardiac MRI for myocardial scarring diagnosis using convolutional neural network classification and One Match.

PloS one
Machine learning (ML) classification of myocardial scarring in cardiac MRI is often hindered by limited explainability, particularly with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). To address this, we developed One Match (OM), an algorithm that builds on ...

Aging at the Crossroads of Organ Interactions: Implications for the Heart.

Circulation research
Aging processes underlie common chronic cardiometabolic diseases such as heart failure and diabetes. Cross-organ/tissue interactions can accelerate aging through cellular senescence, tissue wasting, accelerated atherosclerosis, increased vascular sti...

Integrating anatomy and electrophysiology in the healthy human heart: Insights from biventricular statistical shape analysis using universal coordinates.

Computers in biology and medicine
A cardiac digital twin is a virtual replica of a patient-specific heart, mimicking its anatomy and physiology. A crucial step of building a cardiac digital twin is anatomical twinning, where the computational mesh of the digital twin is tailored to t...

Semi-Supervised Echocardiography Video Segmentation via Adaptive Spatio-Temporal Tensor Semantic Awareness and Memory Flow.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Accurate segmentation of cardiac structures in echocardiography videos is vital for diagnosing heart disease. However, challenges such as speckle noise, low spatial resolution, and incomplete video annotations hinder the accuracy and efficiency of se...

Feedback Attention to Enhance Unsupervised Deep Learning Image Registration in 3D Echocardiography.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Cardiac motion estimation is important for assessing the contractile health of the heart, and performing this in 3D can provide advantages due to the complex 3D geometry and motions of the heart. Deep learning image registration (DLIR) is a robust wa...

Spatiotemporal Implicit Neural Representation for Unsupervised Dynamic MRI Reconstruction.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Supervised Deep-Learning (DL)-based reconstruction algorithms have shown state-of-the-art results for highly-undersampled dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction. However, the requirement of excessive high-quality ground-truth data hi...

Self-supervised learning for label-free segmentation in cardiac ultrasound.

Nature communications
Segmentation and measurement of cardiac chambers from ultrasound is critical, but laborious and poorly reproducible. Neural networks can assist, but supervised approaches require the same problematic manual annotations. We build a pipeline for self-s...

An end-to-end neural network for 4D cardiac CT reconstruction using single-beat scans.

Physics in medicine and biology
Motion artifacts remain a significant challenge in cardiac CT imaging, often impairing the accurate detection and diagnosis of cardiac diseases. These artifacts result from involuntary cardiac motion, and traditional mitigation methods typically rely...
