Thus, for the sitting position many additional precautions must be taken such as preoperative transesophageal echocardiogram with bubble study to assess for a patent foramen ovale, precordial Doppler during the procedure for detection of venous air embolism, and placement of a central venous cathe...
Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography (MCE) with micro-bubble contrast agent enables myocardial perfusion quantification which is invaluable for the early detection of coronary artery diseases. In this paper, we proposed a new segmentation method called Shape Model guided Random Forests (SMRF) for the an...
