Background: Electrocardiogram (ECG)-based biometrics relies on the most stable and unique beat patterns, i.e. those with maximal intra-subject and minimal inter-subject waveform differences seen from different leads. We investigated methodology to evaluate those differences, aiming to rank the most prominent single and multi-lead ECG sets for biometric verification across a large population.
Methods: A clinical standard 12-lead resting ECG database, including 460 pairs of remote recordings (distanced 1year apart) was used. Inter-subject beat waveform differences were studied by cross-correlation and amplitude relations of average PQRST (500ms) and QRS (100ms) patterns, using 8 features/lead in 12-leads. Biometric verification models based on stepwise linear discriminant classifier were trained on the first half of records. True verification rate (TVR) on the remaining test data was further reported as a common mean of the correctly verified equal subjects (true acceptance rate) and correctly rejected different subjects (true rejection rate).
Results And Conclusions: In single-lead ECG human identity applications, we found maximal TVR (87-89%) for the frontal plane leads (I, -aVR, II) within (0-60°) sector. Other leads were ranked: inferior (85%), lateral to septal (82-81%), with intermittent V3 drop (77.6%), suggesting anatomical landmark displacements. ECG pattern view from multi-lead sets improved TVR: chest (91.3%), limb (94.6%), 12-leads (96.3%).

Background: Current clinical decision support systems (DSS) are trained and validated on observational data from the clinic in which the DSS is going to be applied. This is problematic for treatments that have already been validated in a randomized clinical trial (RCT), but have not yet been introduced in any clinic. In this work, we report on a method for training and validating the DSS core before introduction to a clinic, using the RCT data themselves.

Article Synopsis
- Identity verification is increasingly important for online services and security, with biometric methods like ECG signals standing out for their accuracy and resistance to falsification.
- The study introduces a new identity verification framework using ECG signals, which involves cleaning the data of noise and transforming it into images for deep learning analysis using techniques like the Wigner-Ville distribution and CNNs (GoogleNet architecture).
- The proposed model achieved high accuracy rates of 99.3% and 99.004% on benchmark datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness compared to other biometric methods.

Background/objectives: In contrast to traditional biometric modalities, such as facial recognition, fingerprints, and iris scans or even DNA, the research orientation towards chest X-ray recognition has been spurred by its remarkable recognition rates. Capturing the intricate anatomical nuances of an individual's skeletal structure, the ribcage of the chest, lungs, and heart, chest X-rays have emerged as a focal point for identification and verification, especially in the forensic field, even in scenarios where the human body damaged or disfigured. Discriminative feature embedding is essential for large-scale image verification, especially in applying chest X-ray radiographs for identity identification and verification.
