Cardiac bi-ventricle segmentation (BVS) is an essential task for assessing cardiac indices, such as the ejection fraction and volume of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV). However, BVS is extremely challenging due to the high variabilit...
OBJECTIVE: Genetic diagnosis of muscular dystrophies (MDs) has classically been guided by clinical presentation, muscle biopsy, and muscle MRI data. Muscle MRI suggests diagnosis based on the pattern of muscle fatty replacement. However, patterns ove...
BACKGROUND: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is emerging as a significant pathogen causing healthcare-associated infections. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS...
The use of natural language data for animal population surveillance represents a valuable opportunity to gather information about potential disease outbreaks, emerging zoonotic diseases, or bioterrorism threats. In this study, we evaluate machine lea...
Metal objects in the human heart such as implanted pacemakers frequently lead to heavy artifacts in reconstructed CT image volumes. Due to cardiac motion, common metal artifact reduction methods which assume a static object during CT acquisition are ...
