• Abstract summary: Quantification of cardiac biomarkers from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) data using deep learning (DL) methods offers many advantages. However, only a few studies have focused on the scan-rescan precision of the biomarker estimates. Here, we propose a cardiac biomarker estimation pipeline that not only focuses on achieving high segmentation accuracy but also on improving the scan-rescan precision.

• Abstract: Quantification of cardiac biomarkers from cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) data using deep learning (DL) methods offers many advantages, such as increased accuracy and faster analysis. However, only a few studies have focused on the scan-rescan precision of the biomarker estimates, which is important for reproducibility and longitudinal analysis. Here, we propose a cardiac biomarker estimation pipeline that not only focuses on achieving high segmentation accuracy but also on improving the scan-rescan precision of the computed biomarkers, namely left and right ventricular ejection fraction, and left ventricular myocardial mass. We evaluate two approaches to improve the apical-basal resolution of the segmentations used for estimating the biomarkers: one based on image interpolation and one based on segmentation interpolation. Using a database comprising scan-rescan cine CMR data acquired from 92 subjects, we compare the performance of these two methods against ground truth (GT) segmentations and DL segmentations obtained before interpolation (baseline). The results demonstrate that both the image-based and segmentation-based interpolation methods were able to narrow Bland-Altman scan-rescan confidence intervals for all biomarkers compared to the GT and baseline performances. Our findings highlight the importance of focusing not only on segmentation accuracy but also on the consistency of biomarkers across repeated scans, which is crucial for longitudinal analysis of cardiac function.

  Left ventricular (LV) function is an important factor in terms of patient management, outcome, and long-term survival of patients with heart disease. Recently published clinical guidelines for heart failure recognise that over reliance on only one measure of cardiac function is suboptimal. Recent advances in AI-based echocardiography analysis have shown excellent results on automated estimation of LV volumes and LV ejection fraction.

  We present a hybrid algorithm to estimate lung malignancy that combines imaging biomarkers from Radiologist's annotation with image classification of CT scans. Our algorithm employs a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as well as a Random Forest in order to combine CT imagery with biomarker annotation and radiomic features. We show that a model using image biomarkers alone is more accurate than one that combines biomarkers with volumetric radiomics, 3D CNNs, and semi-supervised learning.
