Deep learning-enhanced nuclear medicine SPECT imaging applied to cardiac studies

LINK: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40658-022-00522-7 Abstract Deep learning (DL) has a growing popularity and is a well-established method of artificial intelligence for data processing, especially for images and videos. Its applications in nuclear medicine are broad and include, among others, disease classification, image reconstruction, and image de-noising. Positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) are

Classification models for assessing coronary artery disease instances using clinical and biometric data: an explainable man-in-the-loop approach

LINK: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-33500-9 Abstract The main goal driving this work is to develop computer-aided classification models relying on clinical data to identify coronary artery disease (CAD) instances with high accuracy while incorporating the expert’s opinion as input, making it a “man-in-the-loop” approach. CAD is traditionally diagnosed in a definite manner by Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA). A
