Ventricular contouring of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for volumetric analysis for repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), but can be time-consuming and subject to variability. A convolutional neural network (CNN) ventricular ...

In cardiology, ultrasound is often used to diagnose heart disease associated with myocardial infarction. This study aims to develop robust segmentation techniques for segmenting the left ventricle (LV) in ultrasound images to check myocardium movemen...
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular maximum wall thickness (MWT) is central to diagnosis and risk stratification of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but human measurement is prone to variability. We developed an automated machine learning algorithm for MWT meas...

Segmentation of cardiac structures is one of the fundamental steps to estimate volumetric indices of the heart. This step is still performed semiautomatically in clinical routine and is, thus, prone to interobserver and intraobserver variabilities. R...

Volume and ejection fraction (EF) measurements of the left ventricle (LV) in 2-D echocardiography are associated with a high uncertainty not only due to interobserver variability of the manual measurement, but also due to ultrasound acquisition error...

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...
