BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects approximately 1% of newborns and is a leading cause of mortality in early childhood. Despite the importance of early detection, current screening methods, such as pulse oximetry and auscultation, hav...
This study evaluated the feasibility of HeartAssist, a novel automated tool designed for classification of fetal cardiac views, annotation of cardiac structures, and measurement of cardiac parameters. Unlike previous AI tools that primarily focused o...

Fetal congenital heart disease (FCHD) represents a serious and prevalent congenital malformation. However, there exist notable regional disparities in the detection rates of fetal heart abnormalities. To enhance the diagnostic capabilities of ultraso...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining attention in radiology and cardiology for accurately diagnosing structural heart disease. In this review paper, we first outline the technical background of AI and echocardiography and then present an a...
Examining the altered arrangement and patterning of sulcal folds offers insights into the mechanisms of neurodevelopmental differences in psychiatric and neurological disorders. Previous sulcal pattern analysis used spectral graph matching of sulcal ...

PURPOSE: Deep-learning-based supervised CT segmentation relies on fully and densely labeled data, the labeling process of which is time-consuming. In this study, our proposed method aims to improve segmentation performance on CT volumes with limited ...
OBJECTIVE: To use artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically extract video clips of the fetal heart from a stream of ultrasound video, and to assess the performance of these when used for remote second review.

INTRODUCTION: Interdisciplinary consultations are essential to decision-making for patients with congenital heart disease. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing into medical practice is rapidly accelerating, ...
Fetal echocardiography (ultrasound of the fetal heart) plays a vital role in identifying heart defects, allowing clinicians to establish prenatal and postnatal management plans. Machine learning-based methods are emerging to support the automation of...
Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) can lead to improved morbidity and mortality. However, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound, the sole prenatal screening tool, remains limited. Failed prenatal or early newborn detecti...
