Lumen segmentation in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images is a very important step to analyze points of interest that may help on atherosclerosis diagnostic and treatment. Past studies use many different methods to segment the lumen in IVOCT im...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to test whether texture analysis and machine learning enable the detection of myocardial infarction (MI) on non-contrast-enhanced low radiation dose cardiac computed tomography (CCT) images.

A marked delay in the electrical repolarization of heart ventricles is characterized by prolongation of the Q-T wave (QT) interval on a surface electrocardiogram. Such a delay can lead to potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia (torsades de p...
OBJECTIVES: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a subtype of artificial neural network that have shown strong performance in computer vision tasks including image classification. To date, there has been limited application of CNNs to chest radio...
There is much interest in form-fitting, low-modulus, implantable devices or soft robots that can mimic or assist in complex biological functions such as the contraction of heart muscle. We present a soft robotic sleeve that is implanted around the he...
