• Authors: Derya Gol Gungor, Bimba Rao, Cynthia Wolverton, Ismayil Guracar
• Abstract summary: We propose a machine learning pipeline that uses deep neural networks for separate classification and localization steps. As the first step in the pipeline, we apply view classification to echocardiograms with ten unique anatomic views of the heart. In the second step, we apply deep learning-based object detection to both localize and identify the valves.

• Abstract: Echocardiography provides an important tool for clinicians to observe the function of the heart in real time, at low cost, and without harmful radiation. Automated localization and classification of heart valves enables automatic extraction of quantities associated with heart mechanical function and related blood flow measurements. We propose a machine learning pipeline that uses deep neural networks for separate classification and localization steps. As the first step in the pipeline, we apply view classification to echocardiograms with ten unique anatomic views of the heart. In the second step, we apply deep learning-based object detection to both localize and identify the valves. Image segmentation based object detection in echocardiography has been shown in many earlier studies but, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that predicts the bounding boxes around the valves along with classification from 2D ultrasound images with the help of deep neural networks. Our object detection experiments applied to the Apical views suggest that it is possible to localize and identify multiple valves precisely.

  We propose a two-stage deep learning framework for real-time guidewire segmentation and tracking. In the first stage, a Yolov5 detector is trained, using the original X-ray images as well as synthetic ones, to output the bounding boxes of possible target guidewires. In the second stage, a novel and efficient network is proposed to segment the guidewire in each detected bounding box.

The actual grading is mostly done through manual inspection of the acquired images. We present a deep learning approach to predicting collateral flow grading in stroke patients based on radiomic features extracted from MR perfusion data.

  We propose Attention-Based Convolutional Neural Networks (ABCNN) to work on the raw ECG signals and automatically extract the informative dependencies for accurate arrhythmia detection. Our main task is to find the arrhythmia from normal heartbeats and, at the meantime, accurately recognize the heart diseases from five arrhythmia types. The experimental results show that the proposed ABCNN outperforms the widely used baselines.

  Heart disease is the most common reason for human mortality that causes almost one-third of deaths throughout the world. Detecting the disease early increases the chances of survival of the patient and there are several ways a sign of heart disease can be detected early. This research proposes to convert cleansed and normalized heart sound into visual mel scale spectrograms and then using visual domain transfer learning approaches to automatically extract features and categorize between heart sounds.
