Quantification of myocardial perfusion has the potential to improve detection of regional and global flow reduction. Significant effort has been made to automate the workflow, where one essential step is the arterial input function (AIF) extraction. Since failure here invalidates quantification, high accuracy is required. For this purpose, this study presents a robust AIF detection method using the convolutional neural net (CNN) model. CNN models were trained by assembling 25,027 scans (N=12,984 patients) from three hospitals, seven scanners. A test set of 5,721 scans (N=2,805 patients) evaluated model performance. The 2D+T AIF time series was inputted into CNN. Two variations were investigated: a) Two Classes (2CS) for background and foreground (LV mask); b) Three Classes (3CS) for background, foreground LV and RV. Final model was deployed on MR scanners via the Gadgetron InlineAI. Model loading time on MR scanner was ~340ms and applying it took ~180ms. The 3CS model successfully detect LV for 99.98% of all test cases (1 failed out of 5,721 cases). The mean Dice ratio for 3CS was 0.87+/-0.08 with 92.0% of all test cases having Dice ratio >0.75, while the 2CS model gave lower Dice of 0.82+/-0.22 (P<1e-5). Extracted AIF signals using CNN were further compared to manual ground-truth for foot-time, peak-time, first-pass duration, peak value and area-under-curve. No significant differences were found for all features (P>0.2). This study proposed, validated, and deployed a robust CNN solution to detect the LV for the extraction of the AIF signal used in fully automated perfusion flow mapping. A very large data cohort was assembled and resulting models were deployed to MR scanners for fully inline AI in clinical hospitals.

Recent development of quantitative myocardial blood flow (MBF) mapping allows direct evaluation of absolute myocardial perfusion, by computing pixel-wise flow maps. Clinical studies suggest quantitative evaluation would be more desirable for objectiv ity and efficiency. Objective assessment can be further facilitated by segmenting the myocardium and automatically generating reports following the AHA model. This will free user interaction for analysis and lead to a one-click solution to improve workflow. This paper proposes a deep neural network based computational workflow for inline myocardial perfusion analysis. Adenosine stress and rest perfusion scans were acquired from three hospitals. Training set included N=1,825 perfusion series from 1,034 patients. Independent test set included 200 scans from 105 patients. Data were consecutively acquired at each site. A convolution neural net (CNN) model was trained to provide segmentation for LV cavity, myocardium and right ventricular by processing incoming 2D+T perfusion Gd series. Model outputs were compared to manual ground-truth for accuracy of segmentation and flow measures derived on global and per-sector basis. The trained models were integrated onto MR scanners for effective inference. Segmentation accuracy and myocardial flow measures were compared between CNN models and manual ground-truth. The mean Dice ratio of CNN derived myocardium was 0.93 +/- 0.04. Both global flow and per-sector values showed no significant difference, compared to manual results. The AHA 16 segment model was automatically generated and reported on the MR scanner. As a result, the fully automated analysis of perfusion flow mapping was achieved. This solution was integrated on the MR scanner, enabling one-click analysis and reporting of myocardial blood flow.
Sleep has been shown to be an indispensable and important component of patients recovery process. Nonetheless, sleep quality of patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is often low, due to factors such as noise, pain, and frequent nursing care acti vities. Frequent sleep disruptions by the medical staff and/or visitors at certain times might lead to disruption of patient sleep-wake cycle and can also impact the severity of pain. Examining the association between sleep quality and frequent visitation has been difficult, due to lack of automated methods for visitation detection. In this study, we recruited 38 patients to automatically assess visitation frequency from captured video frames. We used the DensePose R-CNN (ResNet-101) model to calculate the number of people in the room in a video frame. We examined when patients are interrupted the most, and we examined the association between frequent disruptions and patient outcomes on pain and length of stay.
As an analytic pipeline for quantitative imaging feature extraction and analysis, radiomics has grown rapidly in the past a few years. Recent studies in radiomics aim to investigate the relationship between tumors imaging features and clinical outcom es. Open source radiomics feature banks enable the extraction and analysis of thousands of predefined features. On the other hand, recent advances in deep learning have shown significant potential in the quantitative medical imaging field, raising the research question of whether predefined radiomics features have predictive information in addition to deep learning features. In this study, we propose a feature fusion method and investigate whether a combined feature bank of deep learning and predefined radiomics features can improve the prognostics performance. CT images from resectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients were used to compare the prognosis performance of common feature reduction and fusion methods and the proposed risk-score based feature fusion method for overall survival. It was shown that the proposed feature fusion method significantly improves the prognosis performance for overall survival in resectable PDAC cohorts, elevating the area under ROC curve by 51% compared to predefined radiomics features alone, by 16% compared to deep learning features alone, and by 32% compared to existing feature fusion and reduction methods for a combination of deep learning and predefined radiomics features.
Physicians use biopsies to distinguish between different but histologically similar enteropathies. The range of syndromes and pathologies that could cause different gastrointestinal conditions makes this a difficult problem. Recently, deep learning h as been used successfully in helping diagnose cancerous tissues in histopathological images. These successes motivated the research presented in this paper, which describes a deep learning approach that distinguishes between Celiac Disease (CD) and Environmental Enteropathy (EE) and normal tissue from digitized duodenal biopsies. Experimental results show accuracies of over 90% for this approach. We also look into interpreting the neural network model using Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mappings and filter activations on input images to understand the visual explanations for the decisions made by the model.
We report three-dimensional and time-dependent numerical simulations of the propagation of electrical action potentials in a model of rabbit ventricular tissue. The simulations are performed using a finite-element method for the solution of the monod omain equations of cardiac electrical excitation. The parameters of a detailed ionic ventricular cell model are re-fitted to available experimental data and the model is then used for the description of the transmembrane current and calcium dynamics. A region with reduced conductivity is introduced to model a myocardial infarction scar. Electrical activation times and density maps of the transmembrane voltage are computed and compared with experimental measurements in rabbit preparations with myocardial infarction obtained by a panoramic optical mapping method.
