A dynamic risk score for early prediction of cardiogenic shock using machine learning [PDF]
Myocardial infarction and heart failure are major cardiovascular diseases that affect millions of people in the US. The morbidity and mortality are highest among patients who develop cardiogenic shock. Early recognition of cardiogenic shock is critical.

Log file‐based quality assurance method for respiratory gating system
Abstract Background As medical linear accelerator technology advances, enabling higher dose rate deliveries, hypofractionation regimens has increased. This necessitates respiratory gating systems that synchronize radiation delivery with tumor position, requiring simple rigorous quality assurance (QA) to ensure treatment accuracy and patient safety ...

Automated cardiac output measurements by ultrasound are inaccurate at high cardiac outputs [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveThe sonographic technique of automated cardiac output measurement (ACM) is a promising new method to measure cardiac output and could be of use in a high‐risk obstetric unit in the treatment of pre‐eclamptic patients. The aim was to determine the accuracy of the ACM method.DesignComparative study of the sonographic technique of ACM ...

Accounting for TLD response to CBCT protocols in external beam radiotherapy dose monitoring
Abstract Purpose LiF thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are commonly used in radiation therapy to verify the delivered dose. Examples include dose verification for complicated treatment setups or cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). TLDs may be present for both the pre‐treatment imaging kilovoltage (kV) beam and the megavoltage (MV ...

Parametric model order reduction and its application to inverse analysis of large nonlinear coupled cardiac problems [PDF]
Predictive high-fidelity finite element simulations of human cardiac mechanics co\-mmon\-ly require a large number of structural degrees of freedom. Additionally, these models are often coupled with lumped-parameter models of hemodynamics. High computational demands, however, slow down model calibration and therefore limit the use of cardiac ...
