In recent years, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have become one of the leading causes of mortality globally. At early stages, CVDs appear with minor symptoms and progressively get worse. The majority of people experience symptoms such as exhaustion, ...
. Sliding motion may occur between organs in anatomical regions due to respiratory motion and heart beating. This issue is often neglected in previous studies, resulting in poor image registration performance. A new approach is proposed to handle dis...
Segmentation of the left ventricle is a key approach in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging for calculating biomarkers in diagnosis. Since there is substantial effort required from the expert, many automatic segmentation methods have been proposed, in...
BACKGROUND: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising technique for non-invasively investigating the myocardial fiber structures of human heart. However, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been a major limit of cardiac DTI to prevent us from det...

In the recent times, the cardiac arrest is a severe heart disease, which results in millions of annual casualties. In this article, the heart rate variability (HRV) parameters are used for predicting cardiac arrest in smokers based on the deep learni...
BACKGROUND: Cardiac uptake on technetium-99m whole-body scintigraphy (WBS) is almost pathognomonic of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. The rare false positives are often related to light-chain cardiac amyloidosis. However, this scintigraphic featur...
Artificial intelligence applications have shown success in different medical and health care domains, and cardiac imaging is no exception. However, some machine learning models, especially deep learning, are considered black box as they do not provid...
BACKGROUND: Quantification of chamber size and systolic function is a fundamental component of cardiac imaging. However, the human heart is a complex structure with significant uncharacterized phenotypic variation beyond traditional metrics of size a...
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) is a non-invasive imaging technique to analyse the structure and function of the heart. It was enhanced considerably over several years to deliver functional information for diagnosing and managing cardiovasc...
