DOI: 10.1007/s12350-019-01848-z
Abstract: Papillary muscles (PM) are important structural components of the heart, giving support to the atrioventricular valve (AV valve). Functional incompetence of PM due to ischemia or other anomalies can result in AV valve dysfunctions, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12350-021-02676-w
Abstract: We previously developed a deep-learning (DL) network for image denoising in SPECT-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Here we investigate whether this DL network can be utilized for improving detection of perfusion defects in standard-dose clinical acquisitions.… read more here.

DOI: 10.5853/jos.2016.00598
Abstract: The clinical diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke is highly subjective, especially if the brain imaging does not reveal any evidence of ischemic lesion. Herein, I report a case of small vessel… read more here.
