BACKGROUND: Machine-learning classifiers mostly offer good predictive performance and are increasingly used to support shared decision-making in clinical practice. Focusing on performance and practicability, this study evaluates prediction of patient...
Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder which causes stop in breathing for a short duration of time that happens to human beings and animals during sleep. Electroencephalogram (EEG) plays a vital role in detecting the sleep apnea by sensing and recording the...
Multi-modality examinations have been extensively applied in current clinical cancer management. Leveraging multi-modality medical images can be highly beneficial for automated tumor segmentation as they provide complementary information that could m...
Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
Jan 7, 2019
BACKGROUND: Phase contrast (PC) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is widely employed for flow quantification, but analysis typically requires time consuming manual segmentation which can require human correction. Advances in machine learning ha...
Deriving accurate attenuation maps for PET/MRI remains a challenging problem because MRI voxel intensities are not related to properties of photon attenuation and bone/air interfaces have similarly low signal. This work presents a learning-based meth...
Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction (ALVD) is present in 3-6% of the general population, is associated with reduced quality of life and longevity, and is treatable when found. An inexpensive, noninvasive screening tool for ALVD in the doctor's ...
