Automatic identification of short axis slice levels in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important in efficient and precise diagnosis of cardiac disease based on the geometry of the left ventricle. We developed a combined model of convoluti...
PURPOSE: Subject-tailored parallel transmission pulses for ultra-high fields body applications are typically calculated based on subject-specific -maps of all transmit channels, which require lengthy adjustment times. This study investigates the fea...

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization reported that cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide. On average, one person dies of heart disease every 26 min worldwide. Deep learning approaches are characterized by the appropr...
BACKGROUND: Myocardial pathology segmentation plays an utmost role in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). However, manual segmentation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires a lot of professional knowledge and clin...
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have demonstrated their ability to segment 2D cardiac ultrasound images. However, despite recent successes according to which the intra-observer variability on end-diastole and end-systole images has been reached, ...
Accurate segmentation of multiple tissues and organs in cardiac medical imaging is of great value in computer-aided cardiovascular diagnosis. However, it is challenging due to the complex distribution of various tissues and organs in cardiac MRI (mag...
The task of automatic segmentation and measurement of key anatomical structures in echocardiography is critical for subsequent extraction of clinical parameters. However, the influence of boundary blur, speckle noise, and other factors increase the d...
PURPOSE: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT) is widely applied for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. In clinical practice, the long scanning procedures and acquisition time might induce ...
BACKGROUND: Time-resolved 4D cone beam-computed tomography (4D-CBCT) allows a daily assessment of patient anatomy and respiratory motion. However, 4D-CBCTs suffer from imaging artifacts that affect the CT number accuracy and prevent accurate proton d...
Since most of degenerative canine heart diseases accompany cardiomegaly, early detection of cardiac enlargement is main priority healthcare issue for dogs. In this study, we developed a new deep learning-based radiographic index quantifying canine he...
