Hanae Elmekki, Amanda Spilkin, Ehsan Zakeri +11
Cardiac ultrasound (US) is among the most widely used diagnostic tools in cardiology for assessing heart health, but its effectiveness is limited by operator dependence, time const…
Comprehensive Review of Reinforcement Learning for Medical Ultrasound Imaging
Hanae Elmekki, Saidul Islam, Ahmed Alagha +12
Medical Ultrasound (US) imaging has seen increasing demands over the past years, becoming one of the most preferred imaging modalities in clinical practice due to its affordability…
CACTUS: An Open Dataset and Framework for Automated Cardiac Assessment and Classification of Ultrasound Images Using Deep Transfer Learning
Hanae Elmekki, Ahmed Alagha, Hani Sami +11
Cardiac ultrasound (US) scanning is a commonly used techniques in cardiology to diagnose the health of the heart and its proper functioning. Therefore, it is necessary to consider…
Numerical investigation of the flow induced by a transcatheter intra-aortic entrainment pump
Yeojin Park, Osman Aycan, Lyes Kadem
This study evaluates the fluid dynamics inside and outside transcatheter blood pump positioned in the aorta. We focus on the pump's impact on blood component damage and arterial wa…
