Abstract

BACKGROUND: Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) offers objective and reproducible measures of coronary lesions. However, significant inter- and intra-observer variability and time-consuming processes hinder the practical application of on-site QCA in the current clinical setting. This study proposes a novel method for artificial intelligence-based QCA (AI-QCA) analysis of the major vessels and evaluates its performance.
