Fused Segmentation of Geometric Models for Myocardium and Coronary Artery via Medial Axis [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Coronary arteries and their branches supply blood to myocardium. The obstruction of coronary arteries results in significant loss of myocardium, called acute myocardial infarction, and the number one cause of death globally. Hence, quantification of the regional amount of heart muscle subtended by obstructed coronary arteries is of critical value in ...

UltRAP‐Net: Reverse Approximation of Tissue Properties in Ultrasound Imaging
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study proposes a reverse approximation neural network (UltRAP‐Net) to extract underlying physics‐aware properties using multiple images with distinct appearances obtained at the same location of tissues. Through this robust approximation, the study advances the use of ultrasound images by opening potentials for various applications such as physics‐

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in patients with Williams–Beuren syndrome (WBS), but their prevalence and possible causes are not yet fully known. This study assessed GI symptoms' prevalence and their possible origin by performing a predefined set of tests in adult WBS patients.

Modeling the Safety Effect of Access and Signal Density on Suburban Arterials: Using Macro Level Analysis Method [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 With rapidly increasing of the land development density along suburban arterials, much more irregular signal spacing appeared on suburban arterials, and high access density is commonly observed on suburban arterials. These issues tend to increase the risk of crash occurrence of arterials.

Arterial Stiffness and Coronary Artery Disease
EMJ Cardiology, 2016 Although there have been marked improvements in both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions over several decades, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Intensive modification of classic risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, and cigarette smoking has significantly reduced the ...
