Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) is a valuable point-of-care method for evaluating cardiovascular structures and function, but its scope is limited by equipment and operator's experience, resulting in primarily qualitative 2D exams. This study pres...
The successful integration of neural networks in a clinical setting is still uncommon despite major successes achieved by artificial intelligence in other domains. This is mainly due to the black box characteristic of most optimized models and the un...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Heart failure (HF) is a multi-faceted and life-threatening syndrome that affects more than 64.3 million people worldwide. Current gold-standard screening technique, echocardiography, neglects cardiovascular information regul...
Prediction of major arrhythmic events (MAEs) in dilated cardiomyopathy represents an unmet clinical goal. Computational models and artificial intelligence (AI) are new technological tools that could offer a significant improvement in our ability to p...

Artificial intelligence- (AI) and machine learning (ML)-based applications are becoming increasingly pervasive in the healthcare setting. This has in turn challenged clinicians, hospital administrators, and health policymakers to understand such tech...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and share a deep learning method that can accurately identify optimal inversion time (TI) from multi-vendor, multi-institutional and multi-field strength inversion scout (TI scout) sequences for late gadolinium enhancement card...
Coronary artery segmentation is critical for coronary artery disease diagnosis but challenging due to its tortuous course with numerous small branches and inter-subject variations. Most existing studies ignore important anatomical information and vas...
Multiple applications for machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiovascular imaging are being proposed and developed. However, the processes involved in implementing AI in cardiovascular imaging are highly diverse, varying by imagin...
