CNN model detects emboli to protect patients during heart treatment

Researchers have developed a new method using a 2.5D U-Net convolutional neural network to detect and quantify gaseous microemboli (GME) during cardiac interventions. This approach aims to improve patient safety by providing real-time monitoring of GME, which are a common complication. The system is designed to overcome challenges in GME detection, such as high velocity and similar-looking background structures, by achieving robust segmentation and high accuracy. AI

    Protect the Brain When Treating the Heart: A Convolutional Neural Network for Detecting Emboli

    Gaseous microemboli (GME) represent a common complication of cardiac structural interventions across both surgical and transcatheter approaches. Transthoracic cardiac ultrasound imaging represents a convenient methodology to visualize the presence of circulating GME. However, the…
