• Abstract summary: FibMap is a graph recurrent neural network model that reconstructs global AF dynamics from sparse measurements. Trained and validated on 51 non-contact whole atria recordings, FibMap reconstructs whole atria dynamics from 10% surface coverage. Clinical utility of FibMap is demonstrated on real-world contact mapping recordings, achieving reconstruction fidelity comparable to non-contact mapping.

• Abstract: Catheter ablation of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) consists of a one-size-fits-all treatment with limited success in persistent AF. This may be due to our inability to map the dynamics of AF with the limited resolution and coverage provided by sequential contact mapping catheters, preventing effective patient phenotyping for personalised, targeted ablation. Here we introduce FibMap, a graph recurrent neural network model that reconstructs global AF dynamics from sparse measurements. Trained and validated on 51 non-contact whole atria recordings, FibMap reconstructs whole atria dynamics from 10% surface coverage, achieving a 210% lower mean absolute error and an order of magnitude higher performance in tracking phase singularities compared to baseline methods. Clinical utility of FibMap is demonstrated on real-world contact mapping recordings, achieving reconstruction fidelity comparable to non-contact mapping. FibMap's state-spaces and patient-specific parameters offer insights for electrophenotyping AF. Integrating FibMap into clinical practice could enable personalised AF care and improve outcomes.

  Focal deficits in ischaemic stroke result from impaired perfusion downstream of a critical vascular occlusion. The underlying pattern of disrupted perfusion provides information upstream of the lesion, potentially yielding earlier predictive and localizing signals. Analysing computed perfusion maps from 1,393 CTA-imaged-patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Deep generative inference could power highly expressive models of functional anatomical relations in ischaemic stroke within the pre-interventional window.

  This work presents a clinic-compatible, annotation-free system for automatic cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) view planning. The system mines the spatial relationship, more specifically, locates the intersecting lines, between the target planes and source views. The interplay of multiple target planes predicted in a source view is utilized in a stacked hourglass architecture to gradually improve the regression.

  We propose a deep neural network that classifies the tissues from the phase and intensity data of complex OCT signals acquired at the needle tip. We show that with 10% of the training set, our proposed pretraining strategy helps the model achieve an F1 score of 0.84 whereas the model achieves an F1 score of 0.60 without it.

  We propose a shape-aware relation network for accurate and real-time landmark detection in endoscopic submucosal dissection surgery. We first devise an algorithm to automatically generate relation keypoint heatmaps, which intuitively represent the prior knowledge of spatial relations among landmarks. We then develop two complementary regularization schemes to progressively incorporate the prior knowledge into the training process.

  This work presents a clinic-compatible and annotation-free system for automatic cardiac magnetic resonance imaging view planning. The system mines the spatial relationship -- more specifically, locates and exploits the intersecting lines -- between the source and target views, and trains deep networks to regress heatmaps defined by these intersecting lines. A multi-view planning strategy is proposed to aggregate information from the predicted heatmaps for all the source views of a target view, for a globally optimal prescription.
