title = "Confidence-based training for clinical data uncertainty in image-based prediction of cardiac ablation targets",
abstract = "Ventricular radio-frequency ablation (RFA) can have a critical impact on preventing sudden cardiac arrest but is challenging due to a highly complex arrhythmogenic substrate. This work aims to identify local image characteristics capable of predicting the presence of local abnormal ventricular activities (LAVA). This can allow, pre-operatively and non-invasively, to improve and accelerate the procedure. To achieve this, intensity and texture-based local image features are computed and random forests are used for classification. However using machinelearning approaches on such complex multimodal data can prove difficult due to the inherent errors in the training set. In this manuscript we present a detailed analysis of these error sources due in particular to catheter motion and the data fusion process. We derived a principled analysis of confidence impact on classification. Moreover, we demonstrate how formal integration of these uncertainties in the training process improves the algorithm{\textquoteright}s performance, opening up possibilities for noninvasive image-based prediction of RFA targets.",
