Medical multiobjective image segmentation aims to group pixels to form multiple regions based on the different properties of the medical images. Segmenting the 3D cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images is still a challenging task owing to sev...
Training deep learning models that segment an image in one step typically requires a large collection of manually annotated images that captures the anatomical variability in a cohort. This poses challenges when anatomical variability is extreme but ...
Current segmentation practice for thoracic cancer RT considers the whole heart as a single organ despite increased risks of cardiac toxicities from irradiation of specific cardiac substructures. Segmenting up to 15 different cardiac substructures can...
The development of computational modeling and simulation have immensely benefited the study of cardiac disease mechanisms and facilitated the optimal disease diagnosis and treatment design. The dynamic propagation of cardiac electrical signals are of...

BACKGROUND: Segmenting the whole heart over the cardiac cycle in 4D flow MRI is a challenging and time-consuming process, as there is considerable motion and limited contrast between blood and tissue.
Due to the lack of properly annotated medical data, exploring the generalization capability of the deep model is becoming a public concern. Zero-shot learning (ZSL) has emerged in recent years to equip the deep model with the ability to recognize uns...

PURPOSE: Intra-Cardiac Echocardiography (ICE) is a powerful imaging modality for guiding cardiac electrophysiology and structural heart interventions. ICE provides real-time observation of anatomy and devices, while enabling direct monitoring of pote...
We present a novel multimodal deep learning framework for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) response prediction from 2D echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) data. The proposed method first uses the 'nnU-Net' segmentation model ...
