Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Challenging HR conditions, such as elevated Heart Rate (HR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV), are major contributors to motion artifacts in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA). This study aims to assess the impact of a deep learning-based motion correction algorithm (MCA) on motion artifacts in patients with challenging HR conditions, focusing on image quality and diagnostic performance of CCTA.
