    • Automatic measurements of left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction by artificial intelligence: clinical validation in real time and large databases 

      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 ...
    • Can a Dinosaur Think? Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy 

      Muller, Sebastien; Abildsnes, Håkon; Østvik, Andreas; Kragset, Oda; Gangås, Inger Sofie Hovd; Birke, Harriet; Langø, Thomas; Arum, Carl-Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of kidney stones is losing ground to more expensive and invasive endoscopic treatments. Objective: This proof-of-concept project was initiated to develop artificial ...
    • Deep Learning for Improved Precision and Reproducibility of Left Ventricular Strain in Echocardiography: A Test-Retest Study 

      Salte, Ivar Mjåland; Østvik, Andreas; Olaisen, Sindre Hellum; Karlsen, Sigve; Dahlslett, Thomas; Smistad, Erik; Eriksen-Volnes, Torfinn Kirknes; Brunvand, Harald; Haugaa, Kristina Ingrid Helena Hermann; Edvardsen, Thor; Dalen, Håvard; Løvstakken, Lasse; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Aims Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function by echocardiography is hampered by modest test-retest reproducibility. A novel artificial intelligence (AI) method based on deep learning provides fully automated ...
    • Real-Time Automatic Ejection Fraction and Foreshortening Detection Using Deep Learning 

      Smistad, Erik; Salte, Ivar Mjåland; Østvik, Andreas; Melichova, Daniela; Nguyen, Thuy Mi; Haugaa, Kristina; Brunvand, Harald; Edvardsen, Thor; Leclerc, Sarah; Bernard, Olivier; Grenne, Bjørnar; Løvstakken, Lasse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Volume and ejection fraction (EF) measurements of the left ventricle (LV) in 2-D echocardiography are associated with a high uncertainty not only due to interobserver variability of the manual measurement, but also due to ...
    • Real-Time Echocardiography Guidance for Optimized Apical Standard Views 

      Pasdeloup, David Francis Pierre; Olaisen, Sindre Hellum; Østvik, Andreas; Sæbø, Sigbjørn; Pettersen, Håkon Neergaard; Holte, Espen; Grenne, Bjørnar; Stølen, Stian Bergseng; Smistad, Erik; Aase, Svein Arne; Dalen, Håvard; Løvstakken, Lasse (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    • Tracking-based mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) measurement using deep learning in B-mode ultrasound 

      Smistad, Erik; Østvik, Andreas; Grue, Jahn Frederik; Dalen, Håvard; Løvstakken, Lasse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) is an important measure of left ventricular function. Current clinical practice is to measure it manually using M-mode ultrasound imaging which has several disadvantages such ...
