BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Supervised Machine Learning techniques have shown significant potential in medical image analysis. However, the training data that need to be collected for these techniques in the field of MRI 1) may not be available, 2) may...
The clinical presentation of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) heart failure (HF) patients who will respond to medical therapy (responders) and those who will not (non-responders) is often similar. A machine learning (ML)-based clinical tool t...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: deep learning algorithms have not been successfully used for the left ventricle (LV) detection in echocardiographic images due to overfitting and vanishing gradient descent problem. This research aims to increase accuracy and impr...
Three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D STE) is an emerging noninvasive method for predicting left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous studies analyzed the predictive value of 3D STE with tra...

Quantification of cardiac left ventricle has become a hot topic due to its great significance in clinical practice. Many efforts have been devoted to LV quantification and obtained promising performance with the help of various deep neural networks w...
Myocardial perfusion (MP) PET imaging plays a key role in risk assessment and stratification of patients with coronary artery disease. In this work, we proposed a patch-based artificial neural network (ANN) fusion approach that integrates information...
