Fully Automatic Atrial Fibrosis Assessment Using a Multilabel Convolutional Neural Network.

Circulation. Cardiovascular imaging
BACKGROUND: Pathological atrial fibrosis is a major contributor to sustained atrial fibrillation. Currently, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) scans provide the only noninvasive estimate of atrial fibrosis. However, widespread adoption of atrial LGE ...

Fully automated left atrium segmentation from anatomical cine long-axis MRI sequences using deep convolutional neural network with unscented Kalman filter.

Medical image analysis
This study proposes a fully automated approach for the left atrial segmentation from routine cine long-axis cardiac magnetic resonance image sequences using deep convolutional neural networks and Bayesian filtering. The proposed approach consists of ...

Automated extraction of left atrial volumes from two-dimensional computer tomography images using a deep learning technique.

International journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Precise segmentation of the left atrium (LA) in computed tomography (CT) images constitutes a crucial preparatory step for catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation (AF). We aim to apply deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) to automa...

Segmentation and visualization of left atrium through a unified deep learning framework.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Left atrium segmentation and visualization serve as a fundamental and crucial role in clinical analysis and understanding of atrial fibrillation. However, most of the existing methods are directly transmitting information, which may cause re...

A Catheter-Deployable Soft Robotic Inflatable Basket for Enhanced Conformability to the Left Atrium of the Heart.

Advanced healthcare materials
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and test results for a novel basket catheter that utilizes soft robotic technology, which can conform to complex patient anatomy. Two designs of basket-shaped balloons in three sizes are fabricated based o...

Atrial scar quantification via multi-scale CNN in the graph-cuts framework.

Medical image analysis
Late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE MRI) appears to be a promising alternative for scar assessment in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Automating the quantification and analysis of atrial scars can be challenging due to...
