BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Aortic dissection is a severe cardiovascular pathology in which an injury of the intimal layer of the aorta allows blood flowing into the aortic wall, forcing the wall layers apart. Such situation presents a high mortality r...
BACKGROUND: To assess the potential of radiomic features to quantify components of blood in intraaortic vessels to non-invasively predict moderate-to-severe anemia in non-contrast enhanced CT scans.
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a deep learning-based algorithm for segmenting and quantifying the physiological and diseased aorta in computed tomography angiographies.
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a preferred imaging technique for a wide range of vascular diseases. However, extensive manual analysis is required to detect and identify several anatomical landmarks for clinical application. Thi...
Imaging-based measurements form the basis of surgical decision making in patients with aortic aneurysm. Unfortunately, manual measurement suffer from suboptimal temporal reproducibility, which can lead to delayed or unnecessary intervention. We teste...
Modeling of hemodynamics and artificial intelligence have great potential to support clinical diagnosis and decision making. While hemodynamics modeling is extremely time- and resource-consuming, machine learning (ML) typically requires large trainin...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to construct a risk prediction model for distal aortic enlargement in patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) treated with proximal thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can partially replace X-ray guidance in minimally invasive procedures, reducing radiation in the OR. However, in this hybrid setting, EMT is disturbed by metallic distortion caused by the X-ray device. We plan ...
BACKGROUND: Existing methods to reconstruct vascular structures from a computerized tomography (CT) angiogram rely on contrast injection to enhance the radio-density within the vessel lumen. However, pathological changes in the vasculature may be pre...
