  • Publication number: 20230394670
    Abstract: Fully automated computer-implemented deep learning techniques of contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI segmentation are provided. The techniques may include providing cardiac MRI data to a first computer-implemented deep learning network trained in order to identify a left ventricle region of interest to generate left ventricle region-of-interest-identified cardiac MRI data. The techniques may also include providing the left ventricle region-of-interest-identified cardiac MRI data to a second computer-implemented deep learning network trained in order to identify myocardium to generate myocardium-identified cardiac MRI data. The techniques may further include providing the myocardium-identified cardiac MRI data to at least one third computer-implemented deep learning network trained to conform data to geometrical anatomical constraints in order to generate anatomical-conforming myocardium-identified cardiac MRI data.

  • Publication number: 20230036914
    Abstract: A proning device includes a conformable structure that adapts to the shape of a subject, surrounded by a shell that imparts a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape to an exterior of the device to facilitate rotation of the subject within the device when the device is wrapped around the subject. A low-friction interface may also be provided to further facilitate rotation of the subject. The device advantageously reduces staffing needs for proning a subject while facilitating extended proning and periodic re-orientation of the subject. Also disclosed herein are methods for making and using such a proning device.
