Cardiac MRI left ventricular (LV) detection is frequently employed to assist cardiac registration or segmentation in computer-aided diagnosis of heart diseases. Focusing on the challenging problems in LV detection, such as the large span and varying size of LV areas in MRI, as well as the heterogeneous myocardial and blood pool parts in LV areas, a convolutional neural network (CNN) detection method combining discriminative dictionary learning and sequence tracking is proposed in this paper. To efficiently represent the different sub-objects in LV area, the method deploys discriminant dictionary to classify the superpixel oversegmented regions, then the target LV region is constructed by label merging and multi-scale adaptive anchors are generated in the target region for handling the varying sizes. Combining with non-differential anchors in regional proposal network, the left ventricle object is localized by the CNN based regression and classification strategy. In order to solve the problem of slow classification speed of discriminative dictionary, a fast generation module of left ventricular scale adaptive anchors based on sequence tracking is also proposed on the same individual. The method and its variants were tested on the heart atlas data set. Experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed method and according to some evaluation indicators, it obtained 92.95% in AP50 metric and it was the most competitive result compared to typical related methods. The combination of discriminative dictionary learning and scale adaptive anchor improves adaptability of the proposed algorithm to the varying left ventricular areas. This study would be beneficial in some cardiac image processing such as region-of-interest cropping and left ventricle volume measurement.

This study analyzes CZT SPECT myocardial perfusion images that are collected at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical Center in Kaohsiung. This study focuses on the classification of myocardial perfusion images for coronary heart diseases by convolutional neural network techniques. In these gray scale images, heart blood flow distribution contains the most important features. Therefore, data-driven preprocessing is developed to extract the area of interest. After removing the surrounding noise, the three-dimensional convolutional neural network model is utilized to classify whether the patient has coronary heart diseases or not. The prediction accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity are 87.64%, 81.58%, and 92.16%. The prototype system will greatly reduce the time required for physician image interpretation and write reports. It can assist clinical experts in diagnosing coronary heart diseases accurately in practice.

AbstractAutomatic heart disease detection from human heartbeats is a challenging and intellectual assignment in signal processing because periodically monitoring of the heart beat arrhythmia for patient is an essential task to reduce the death rate due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this paper, the focus of research is to design hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture by making use of Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) to classify different types of heart diseases from the ECG signal or human heartbeats. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as an artificial intelligence approach is widely used in computer vision-based medical data analysis. However, the traditional CNN cannot be used for classification of heart diseases from the ECG signal because lots of noise or irrelevant data is mixed with signal. So this study utilizes the pre-processing and selection of feature for proper heart diseases classification, where Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used for the noise reduction as well as segmentation of ECG signal and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) is used for selection of R-peaks features from the extracted feature sets in terms of R-peaks and R-R intervals that help to attain better classification accuracy. For training as well as testing of projected Heartbeats Classification Model (HCM), the Standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is utilized with hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. The assortment of proper R-peaks and R-R intervals is a major factor and because of the deficiency of apposite pre-processing phases like noise removal, signal decomposition, smoothing and filtering, the uniqueness of extracted feature is less. The experimental outcomes show that the planned HCM is effective for detecting irregular human heartbeats via R-peaks and R-R intervals. When the proposed Heartbeats Classification Model (HCM) was verified on the database, model achieved higher efficiency than other state-of-the-art techniques for 16 heartbeat disease categories and the average classification accuracy is 99.58% with fast and robust responses where the correctly classified heartbeats are 86,005 and misclassified beats is only 108 with 0.42% error rate.

In biomedical signal processing, artificial intelligence techniques are used for identifying and extracting relevant information. However, it lacks effective solutions based on machine learning for the prediction of cardiac arrhythmias. The heart diseases diagnosis rests essentially on the analysis of various properties of ECG signal. The arrhythmia is one of the most common heart diseases. A cardiac arrhythmia is a disturbance of the heart rhythm. It occurs when the heart beats too slowly, too fast or anarchically, with no apparent cause. The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias is based on the analysis of the ECG properties, especially, the durations (P, QRS, T), the amplitudes (P, Q, R, S, T), the intervals (PQ, QT, RR), the cardiac frequency and the rhythm. In this paper we propose a system of arrhythmias diagnosis assistance based on the analysis of the temporal and frequential properties of the ECG signal. After the features extraction step, the ECG properties are then used as input for a convolutional neural network to detect and classify the arrhythmias. Finally, the classification results are used to perform a prediction of arrhythmias with nonlinear regression model. The method is illustrated using the MIT-BIH database.

Image deconvolution has been an important issue recently. It has two kinds of approaches: non-blind and blind. Non-blind deconvolution is a classic problem of image deblurring, which assumes that the PSF is known and does not change universally in space. Recently, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been used for non-blind deconvolution. Though CNNs can deal with complex changes for unknown images, some CNN-based conventional methods can only handle small PSFs and does not consider the use of large PSFs in the real world. In this paper we propose a non-blind deconvolution framework based on a CNN that can remove large scale ringing in a deblurred image. Our method has three key points. The first is that our network architecture is able to preserve both large and small features in the image. The second is that the training dataset is created to preserve the details. The third is that we extend the images to minimize the effects of large ringing on the image borders. In our experiments, we used three kinds of large PSFs and were able to observe high-precision results from our method both quantitatively and qualitatively.
