Olaisen, Sindre Hellum; Smistad, Erik; Espeland, Torvald; Hu, Jieyu; Pasdeloup, David Francis Pierre; Østvik, Andreas; Aakhus, Svend; Rösner, Assami; Malm, Siri; Stylidis, Michael; Holte, Espen; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen; Løvstakken, Lasse; Dalen, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Aims Echocardiography is a cornerstone in cardiac imaging, and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) is a key parameter for patient management. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled fully ... -
Automatic Myocardial Strain Imaging in Echocardiography Using Deep Learning
Østvik, Andreas; Smistad, Erik; Espeland, Torvald; Berg, Erik Andreas Rye; Løvstakken, Lasse (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Recent studies in the field of deep learning suggest that motion estimation can be treated as a learnable problem. In this paper we propose a pipeline for functional imaging in echocardiography consisting of four central ... -
Combining Automatic Angle Correction and 3-D Tracking Doppler for the Assessment of Aortic Stenosis Severity
Fiorentini, Stefano; Espeland, Torvald; Berg, Erik Andreas Rye; Aakhus, Svend; Torp, Hans; Avdal, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening, which causes increased load on the left ventricle. Untreated, this condition can eventually lead to heart failure and death. According to current ... -
Examining the educational impact of the mini-CEX: a randomised controlled study
Smeby, Susanne Skjervold; Espeland, Torvald; Berg, Erik Andreas Rye; Samstad, Eivind; Lillebo, Børge; Slørdahl, Tobias Schmidt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX) as a formative assessment tool among undergraduate medical students, in terms of student perceptions, effects on direct ... -
Fully automatic estimation of global left ventricular systolic function using deep learning in transesophageal echocardiography
Berg, Erik Andreas Rye; Tasken, Anders Austlid; Nordal, Trym; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen; Espeland, Torvald; Garstad, Idar Kirkeby; Dalen, Håvard; Holte, Espen; Stølen, Stian Bergseng; Aakhus, Svend; Kiss, Gabriel Hanssen (Journal article, 2023)Aims To improve monitoring of cardiac function during major surgery and intensive care, we have developed a method for fully automatic estimation of mitral annular plane systolic excursion (auto-MAPSE) using deep learning ... -
