Evaluation of the influence of shape priors in deep learning based cardiac segmentation

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels.<br/>CVDs are the leading cause of death worldwide. To diagnose and treat CVDs, clinicians and cardiologists use multiple noninvasive imaging techniques. These scans are used to segment certain structures of the heart. Deep learning-based cardiac segmentation...

Assessment of nasal airflow simulations: On the accuracy and usage of CFD simulations for healthy and NAO patients

Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is one of the most common symptoms in the human respiratory system and causes a considerable financial burden to both individuals and society. Currently, NAO detection is troublesome to achieve, which can influence the accuracy and effectiveness of clinical surgery. Although several objective measurement techniques...
