    Abstract Automatic anatomical landmark localization has made great strides by leveraging deep learning methods in recent years. The ability to quantify the uncertainty of these predictions is a vital component needed for these methods to be adopted in clinical settings, where it is imperative that erroneous predictions are caught and corrected. We propose Quantile Binning, a data-driven method to categorize predictions by uncertainty with estimated error bounds. Our framework can be applied to any continuous uncertainty measure, allowing straightforward identification of the best subset of predictions with accompanying estimated error bounds. We facilitate easy comparison between uncertainty measures by constructing two evaluation metrics derived from Quantile Binning. We compare and contrast three epistemic uncertainty measures (two baselines, and a proposed method combining aspects of the two), derived from two heatmap-based landmark localization model paradigms (U-Net and patch-based). We show results across three datasets, including a publicly available Cephalometric dataset. We illustrate how filtering out gross mispredictions caught in our Quantile Bins significantly improves the proportion of predictions under an acceptable error threshold. Finally, we demonstrate that Quantile Binning remains effective on landmarks with high aleatoric uncertainty caused by inherent landmark ambiguity, and offer recommendations on which uncertainty measure to use and how to use it. The code and data are available at https://github.com/schobs/qbin.

    Abstract Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in studies presenting artificial intelligence (AI) tools for cardiac imaging. Amongst these are AI tools that undertake segmentation of structures on cardiac MRI (CMR), an essential step in obtaining clinically relevant functional information. The quality of reporting of these studies carries significant implications for advancement of the field and the translation of AI tools to clinical practice. We recently undertook a systematic review to evaluate the quality of reporting of studies presenting automated approaches to segmentation in cardiac MRI (Alabed et al. 2022 Quality of reporting in AI cardiac MRI segmentation studies-a systematic review and recommendations for future studies.

    Abstract Introduction: Heart failure (HF) incidence is increasing in older adults with high hospitalisation and mortality rates. Treatment is complicated by side effects and comorbidities. We investigated the clinical characteristics of octogenarians presenting to the HF clinic.
    Methods: Data were collected on octogenarians (80-89 years) referred to the HF clinic in two periods. The data included demographics, HF phenotype, comorbidities, symptoms and treatment. We investigate the temporal changes in clinical characteristics using χ
    Results: Data were collected in April 2012 to January 2014 and in June 2021 to December 2022. In this cross-sectional study of temporal data, 571 octogenarians were referred to the clinic in the latter period, in whom the prevalence of HF was 68.48% (391 patients). HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was the most common phenotype and increased significantly compared with the first period (46.3% and 29.2%, p<0.001). Frailty, chronic kidney disease and ischaemic heart disease increased significantly versus the first period (p<0.001). During the second period, and following the consultation, of the patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), 86.4% and 82.7% were on a beta blocker and on an ACE inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker/angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, respectively. Clinical characteristics associated with further optimisations of HF pharmacological therapy in the HF clinic were: New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III and the presence of HFrEF phenotype CONCLUSIONS: With a prevalence of HF at 68% among the octogenarians referred to the HF clinic, HFpEF incidence is rising. The decision to optimise HF pharmacological treatment in octogenarians is driven by NYHA functional class III and the presence of HFrEF phenotype.

    Abstract Recent studies have recognized the importance of characterizing the extent of lung disease in pulmonary hypertension patients by using Computed Tomography. The trustworthiness of an artificial intelligence system is linked with the depth of the evaluation in functional, operational, usability, safety and validation dimensions. The safety and validation of an artificial tool is linked to the uncertainty estimation of the model's prediction. On the other hand, the functionality, operation and usability can be achieved by explainable deep learning approaches which can verify the learning patterns and use of the network from a generalized point of view. We developed an artificial intelligence framework to map the 3D anatomical models of patients with lung disease in pulmonary hypertension. To verify the trustworthiness of the framework we studied the uncertainty estimation of the network's prediction, and we explained the learning patterns of the network. Therefore, a new generalized technique combining local explainable and interpretable dimensionality reduction approaches (PCA-GradCam, PCA-Shape) was developed. Our open-source software framework was evaluated in unbiased validation datasets achieving accurate, robust and generalized results.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The right ventricle (RV) has a complex geometry and physiology which is distinct from the left. RV dysfunction and failure can be the aftermath of volume- and/or pressure-loading conditions, as well as myocardial and pericardial diseases.
    Recent findings: Echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and right heart catheterisation can assess RV function by using several qualitative and quantitative parameters. In pulmonary hypertension (PH) in particular, RV function can be impaired and is related to survival. An accurate assessment of RV function is crucial for the early diagnosis and management of these patients. This review focuses on the different modalities and indices used for the evaluation of RV function with an emphasis on PH.
