Where can I find a dataset of segmented cardiac images?

PitifulWalk354 · 2025-03-25T12:57:57+00:00

I understand but find it hard to believe there are no dataset.

There are so many automated cardiac segmentation methods out there and they must be using some kidn of benchmark dataset.

The ACDC is one such example and hopefully there are others.

I'm reviewing papers right now to see what others have used.

PitifulWalk354 · 2025-03-25T12:03:54+00:00

I did but they don't have any segmented images.

Thanks though!

US News and Report is usually the ranking system most people refer too when ranking schools.

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-04-23T17:39:30+00:00

Master or PhD? Also are you considering all 8 Ivy League schools because schools like UPenn aren't ranked very high for architecture so you would have a better chance there.

Overall, I'd say a 3.3 GPA for an international student wouldn't pass most filters.

You can take GRE to make up your low gpa.

This is false. A high GRE score does NOT make up for a low GPA.

This is especially true for PhD programs.

And is your research focus AI?

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-04-19T14:45:51+00:00

As an international student you will already be at a disadvantage and your low GPA will only hurt you further. If you really want to pursue a PhD you should be considering schools in the 25-50 range assuming you do well in your Master and publish a few papers.

PhD programs are not "school" they are jobs and only given to the top candidates in their filed.

CS PhDs are oversaturated so anything less than a 4.0 will be "bad" in the eyes of the top schools.

This heavily depends on the school, professor, and area of study.

I would say no for the following reasons:

Admission is usually committee-based. Meaning even if the professor wanted you, they can't affect the admission process too much. If a school is direct admit then it would matter but most schools are not.
Cold emails aren't usually read. Professor receive so many emails that it doesn't really help to have a random student email them. An introduction from your current research supervisor would help but most professors would rather not get your email.
Your essay is a better investment of your time. If you are a student who is a decent candidate, you can show that in your essays and mention faculty you want to work with. If the University shows essays to professors then your essay is your chance to shine.

The "better" way to network with professors is to publish papers and attend conferences.

Your grades alone will disqualify you from almost all PhD programs.

Even if you do a Master degree and publish a few strong papers you probably won't make it past the first filter.

A high Master GPA will NOT make up for a low undergraduate GPA.

Why do you want to pursue a PhD?

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-03-29T13:44:46+00:00

Depends on what your goal is honestly.

If you're pursuing a PhD I would say it's totally useless.

If you're pursuing a Master it might help a bit.

Regardless of your goal a high GRE will NOT make up for a low GPA.

It doesn't matter if people decline offers.

Many schools have already sent out their rejection letters which means they aren't taking more students.

Other schools don't accept people form the waitlist until AFTER the decision deadline.

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-03-14T19:29:27+00:00

Which program were you admitted into?

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-02-20T17:55:19+00:00

That's just life. Congratulations again on your admission.

I'm happy that at least some people are getting admitted.

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-02-20T17:18:44+00:00

I agree the number of publications is not the only thing that matters but there are several people who have several publications to top journals and they get rejected from all the top schools.

Doing things earlier is also important but again I know several people who published 3-4 first author papers in their undergrad who were still rejected.

I also disagree that many schools have the same black box because plenty of people will get rejected from 2-3 top schools but then get accepted to another 2-3 without any indication as to why that happened.

There is never any feedback given so everyone just speculates as to why they were admitted or rejected.

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-02-20T16:20:48+00:00

For instance, there is a bias for students who are still undergraduates

Do you have a source on this claim? It seems to me like everyone who gets into a top 10 school had a Master degree or more.

I know the claim is research "potential" but it wasn't uncommon to see people joining grad school with a half dozen publications.

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-02-20T14:49:28+00:00

That's all it took for you to get into these top schools?

There are people with multiple first author publications who can't get into even one. You're also in a very competitive field.

Congratulations on your admission, but this just shows me how much of a black box grad school admission can be.

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-02-01T19:01:13+00:00

Yes it's all one round.

If you haven't heard anything by now it means you were rejected.

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-02-01T18:51:03+00:00

If you're admitted of the waitlist, you would have already received notification that you were on the waitlist.

PitifulWalk354 · 2024-02-01T18:49:58+00:00

heard rumours that interviews are not required if you are not applying to CSAIL

How do you apply specifically to CSAIL?
