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...

Scar tissues have been important factors in determining the progression of myocardial diseases and the development of adverse cardiac failure outcomes. Accurate segmentation of the scar tissues can be helpful to the clinicians for risk prediction and...
In the clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, left ventricle (LV) segmentation in cardiac magnetic resonance images (MRI) is an indispensable procedure for doctors. To reduce the time needed for diagnosis, we develop an automatic LV segmentat...
OBJECTIVE: The localization of origins of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is the key factor for the success of ablation of ventricular arrhythmias. Existing methods rely heavily on manual extraction of PVC beats, which limits their applicatio...
The Norwood surgical procedure restores functional systemic circulation in neonatal patients with single ventricle congenital heart defects, but this complex procedure carries a high mortality rate. In this study we address the need to provide an acc...
PURPOSE: Quantification of myocardial perfusion has the potential to improve the detection of regional and global flow reduction. Significant effort has been made to automate the workflow, where one essential step is the arterial input function (AIF)...
