Abstract Rule‐based methods are often used for assigning fiber orientation to cardiac anatomical models. However, existing have been developed using data mostly from the left ventricle. As a consequence, information obtained rule‐based does not match histological in other areas of heart such as right ventricle, having negative impact simulations beyond In this work, we present method where is separately modeled each ventricle following observations histology. This allows create detailed...
Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of death in US. Recent studies have demonstrated effectiveness screening using low dose CT (LDCT) reducing lung related mortality. While nodules are detected with a high rate sensitivity, this exam has specificity and it still difficult to separate benign malignant lesions. The ISBI 2018 Nodule Malignancy Prediction Challenge, developed team from Quantitative Imaging Network National Cancer Institute, was focused on prediction nodule malignancy two...
Confidence in the results is a key ingredient to improve adoption of machine learning methods by clinicians. Uncertainties on have been considered literature, but mostly those originating from and processing methods. Uncertainty data hardly challenged, as single sample often representative enough each subject included analysis. In this paper, we propose representation strategy estimate local uncertainties physiological descriptor (here, myocardial deformation) previously obtained medical...
Being born small for gestational age (SGA), approximately 10% of all births, is associated with increased risk cardiovascular mortality in adulthood, but mechanistic pathways are unclear. Cardiac remodeling and dysfunction occur fetuses SGA children SGA, it uncertain whether how these changes persist into adulthood.To evaluate baseline cardiac function structure exercise capacity young adults SGA.This cohort study conducted from January 2015 to 2018 assessed a perinatal at tertiary...
Aim This study aimed to assess the cardiometabolic sex similarities and differences in adults born small for gestational age. Methods was an ambispective cohort from a birth registry Barcelona, Spain, including 523 adult participants (20–40 years-old) subdivided as age (SGA, if weight <10th centile) or adequate fetal growth (AGA). Cardiometabolic health assessed by echocardiography, electrocardiogram, blood pressure measurement, vascular ultrasound, anthropometric measurements, serum...
Two-dimensional representation of 3D anatomical structures is a simple and intuitive way for analysing patient information across populations image modalities.It also allows convenient visualizations that can be included in clinical reports fast overview the whole structure.While cardiac ventricles, especially left ventricle, have an established standard (e.g.bull's eye plot), 2D depiction atrium (LA) challenging due to its sub-structural complexity including pulmonary veins (PV) atrial...
Introduction Adverse perinatal outcomes (APO) pose a significant global challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aims to analyse two cohorts of high-risk pregnant women for APO comprehend risk factors improve prediction accuracy. Methods We considered an LMIC high-income country (HIC) population derive XGBoost classifiers predict low birth weight (LBW) from comprehensive set maternal fetal characteristics including socio-demographic, past current...

3D echocardiography is an increasingly popular tool for assessing cardiac remodelling in the right ventricle (RV). It allows quantification of chambers without any geometric assumptions, which main weakness 2D echocardiography. However, regional geometry and function limited by lower spatial temporal resolution scarcity identifiable anatomical landmarks, especially within ventricular cavity. We developed a technique regionally volume 3 relevant RV volumetric regions: apical, inlet outflow....
Few data exist concerning the right ventricular (RV) physiological adaptation in American-style football (ASF) athletes. We aimed to analyze RV global and regional responses among ASF-trained Fifty-nine (20 linemen 39 non-linemen) ASF athletes were studied before after inter-seasonal training. During this period, which lasted 7 months, all exposed combined dynamic static exercises. Cardiac longitudinal changes examined using three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. A computational...
Introduction Extraction of Doppler-based measurements from feto-placental Doppler images is crucial in identifying vulnerable new-borns prenatally. However, this process time-consuming, operator dependent, and prone to errors. Methods To address this, our study introduces an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled workflow for automating four sites (i.e., Umbilical Artery (UA), Middle Cerebral (MCA), Aortic Isthmus (AoI) Left Ventricular Inflow Outflow (LVIO)), involving classification waveform...
Cardiac imaging protocols usually result in several types of acquisitions and descriptors extracted from the images. The statistical analysis such data across a population may be challenging, can addressed by fusion techniques within dimensionality reduction framework. However, directly combining different lead to unfair comparisons (for heterogeneous descriptors) or over-exploitation information strongly correlated modalities). In contrast, physicians progressively consider each type based...
One of the main limitations conventional absorption-based X-ray micro-computed tomography imaging biological samples is low inherent contrast soft tissue. To overcome this limitation, use ethanol as agent has been proposed to enhance image tissues through dehydration. Some authors have shown that shrinks and hardens tissue too much, also causing small ruptures due fast However, local deformation occurring a consequence dehydration whether shrinkage can modify myocardial architecture not...
