A general fully automated deep-learning method to detect cardiomegaly in chest x-rays

Medical Imaging, 2021
Cardiomegaly is a medical condition that leads to an increase in cardiac size. It can be manually assessed using the cardiothoracic ratio from chest x-rays (CXRs).

Cardiomegaly on chest radiographs as a predictor of heart disease in the pediatric population

American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Cardiomegaly on chest radiographs (CXR) in pediatric patients leads to multiple tests. We aimed to determine the positive predictive value (PPV) of cardiomegaly on CXR in predicting subsequent heart disease and to assess the utility of ...

Cardiomegaly Following Extensive Burns

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1987
One of our patients had been recovering from prolonged illness for about eight months following extensive deep burns of the lower limbs, along with other complications, when he had a sudden attack of acute dyspnea with orthopnea. The cause of this condition was diagnosed as secondary hypodynamic cardiomyopathy.

Spontaneous “Cardiomegaly” Following Pericardiectomy

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2009
A 64-year-old woman presented eight days following pericardiectomy with a 2-day history of progressive dyspnea and new crushing chest pain. Chest x-ray revealed development of interval "cardiomegaly." Bedside echocardiography revealed a large accumulation of pericardial fluid despite absence of pericardium. Diagnostic and therapeutic mediastinocentesis

CardioXNet: Automated Detection for Cardiomegaly Based on Deep Learning

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2018
In this paper, we present an automated procedure to determine the presence of cardiomegaly on chest X-ray image based on deep learning. The proposed algorithm CardioXNet uses deep learning methods U-NET and cardiothoracic ratio for diagnosis of ...

PULMONARY EDEMA WITHOUT CARDIOMEGALY

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1968
Pulmonary edema of both cardiac and noncardiac origin can occur in the presence of a normal sized heart. Cognizance of this fact can prevent significant diagnostic and therapeutic errors.

Deep Learning for Grading Cardiomegaly Severity in Chest X-Rays: An Investigation

2018 IEEE Life Sciences Conference (LSC), 2018
This study investigates using deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) for automatic detection of cardiomegaly in digital chest X-rays (CXRs). First, we employ and fine-tune several deep CNN architectures to detect presence of cardiomegaly in CXRs. Next,

Cardiomegaly in neonatal hypoglycemia

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1976
Chest X-rays of 24 hypoglycemic newborns were compared with those of a matched control group of newborns with normal blood glucose levels. In the hypoglycemic group heart size was found to be significantly greater than in the control group. No correlation could be established between the degree of cardiomegaly and the severity of hypoglycemia.

[Extreme cardiomegaly].

Zeitschrift fur Kardiologie, 2002
We report the case of 65 year old male patient with extreme heart enlargement. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to acute bleeding from varicose veins of the cardia. The endoscopic treatment by means of hemostatic clips and fibrine was successful. However the patient died two weeks later without having any complaints.
