Despite advances in miniaturization and automation, the need for expert acquisition of a full echocardiogram, including Doppler, has restricted access in remote areas. Recent developments in robotics, teleoperation, and upgraded telecommunications in...
BACKGROUND: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is frequently used to provide risk stratification, but methods to improve the accuracy of these predictions are needed.

OBJECTIVE: Adductor spasmodic dysphonia (AdSD) is a neurogenic dystonia, which causes spasms of the laryngeal muscles. This disorder mainly affects production of connected speech. To understand how AdSD affects vocal fold (VF) movements and hence, th...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) algorithms based on various clinicodemographic, psychometric, and biographic factors have been used to predict depression, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt in adolescents, but there is still a need for more acc...
BACKGROUND: Assessment of coronary artery calcium (CAC) by computed tomographic (CT) imaging provides an accurate measure of atherosclerotic burden. CAC is also visible in computed tomographic attenuation correction (CTAC) scans, always acquired with...
