Deep Learning Approach to Gated Coronary Artery Calcium Scan Segmentations

Ryan C.

The work done in this paper highlights the use of Tversky loss in small segmentations and using an ensemble model to achieve higher accuracy.


Coronary artery calcium (CAC) tests are a CT scan of the heart that takes detailed images of arteries to locate deposits of calcium. Excessive calcium in the arteries can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart and cause heart diseases. These are important indicators for heart attacks and diseases and getting CAC scans are useful in identifying high-risk individuals. Agatson scores are the calculations of total calcium in the heart, state of the art programs are currently about 95 percent accurate. The work done in this paper highlights the use of Tversky loss in small segmentations and using an ensemble model to achieve higher accuracy.

Using Machine Learning Architecture to Detect Brain Tumors

Not all tumors in the brain are cancerous, so irregular cell growths can often be determined as benign and are ignored completely. However, many of these low-danger cell growths can develop into higher-danger cancerous tumors. Identifying these low-danger tumors early is key to preventing cancer in the future.

Modeling Sleep Efficiency

This study explores how alcohol use, exercise, and smoking affect sleep quality by analyzing a dataset containing various lifestyle and sleep-related factors. Using a regression-based predictive model, the research identifies relationships between these behaviors and sleep outcomes, with the final linear regression model achieving a mean absolute error of 0.051.
