Comparison of Benefits from Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy between Patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Patients with Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for patients with moderate to severe heart failure. However, 20-30% of patients remain non-responders to CRT.

Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation Using Adversarial Learning [PDF]
Ischemic stroke occurs through a blockage of clogged blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. Segmentation of the stroke lesion is vital to improve diagnosis, outcome assessment and treatment planning. In this work, we propose a segmentation model with adversarial learning for ischemic lesion segmentation.
