Contour-constrained branch U-Net for accurate left ventricular segmentation in echocardiography.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Using echocardiography to assess the left ventricular function is one of the most crucial cardiac examinations in clinical diagnosis, and LV segmentation plays a particularly vital role in medical image processing as many important clinical diagnosti...

Activation of a Soft Robotic Left Ventricular Phantom Embedded in a Closed-Loop Cardiovascular Simulator: A Computational and Experimental Analysis.

Cardiovascular engineering and technology
PURPOSE: Cardiovascular simulators are used in the preclinical testing phase of medical devices. Their reliability increases the more they resemble clinically relevant scenarios. In this study, a physiologically actuated soft robotic left ventricle (...

Rapid estimation of left ventricular contractility with a physics-informed neural network inverse modeling approach.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Physics-based computer models based on numerical solutions of the governing equations generally cannot make rapid predictions, which in turn limits their applications in the clinic. To address this issue, we developed a physics-informed neural networ...

SimLVSeg: Simplifying Left Ventricular Segmentation in 2-D+Time Echocardiograms With Self- and Weakly Supervised Learning.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Achieving reliable automatic left ventricle (LV) segmentation from echocardiograms is challenging due to the inherent sparsity of annotations in the dataset, as clinicians typically only annotate two specific frames for diagnostic purposes...

Soft robotic artificial left ventricle simulator capable of reproducing myocardial biomechanics.

Science robotics
The heart's intricate myocardial architecture has been called the Gordian knot of anatomy, an impossible tangle of intricate muscle fibers. This complexity dictates equally complex cardiac motions that are difficult to mimic in physical systems. If t...

Automatic segmentation of echocardiographic images using a shifted windows vision transformer architecture.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Echocardiography is one the most commonly used imaging modalities for the diagnosis of congenital heart disease. Echocardiographic image analysis is crucial to obtaining accurate cardiac anatomy information. Semantic segmentation models can be used t...

Enhancing reginal wall abnormality detection accuracy: Integrating machine learning, optical flow algorithms, and temporal convolutional networks in multi-view echocardiography.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Regional Wall Motion Abnormality (RWMA) serves as an early indicator of myocardial infarction (MI), the global leader in mortality. Accurate and early detection of RWMA is vital for the successful treatment of MI. Current automated echoca...

Automated biventricular quantification in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot using a three-dimensional deep learning segmentation model.

Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
BACKGROUND: Deep learning is the state-of-the-art approach for automated segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images. However, these models have been mostly trained and validated ...

EFNet: A multitask deep learning network for simultaneous quantification of left ventricle structure and function.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop an automated method using deep learning for the reliable and precise quantification of left ventricle structure and function from echocardiogram videos, eliminating the need to identify end-systolic an...
