BACKGROUND: Cardiac valve calcification (CVC) is common in dialysis patients and associated with increased cardiovascular risk. However, early screening has been limited by cost concerns. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning mo...
Quantifying aortic valve calcification is critical for assessing the severity of aortic stenosis, predicting cardiovascular risk, and guiding treatment decisions. This study evaluated the feasibility of a deep learning-based automatic quantification ...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used to screen for coronary artery calcification. As the coronary artery has complicated structure and tiny lumen, manual screening is a time-consuming task. Recently, many deep learning methods ha...

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for treating shoulder calcific tendinitis can be influenced by various prognostic factors. This study aimed to identify prognostic factors associated with the failure of ESWT for sym...
INTRODUCTION: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is increasingly prevalent among the aging population, and there is a notable lack of drug therapies. Consequently, identifying novel drug targets will be of utmost importance. Given that type 2 diabe...
Intracranial calcifications, particularly within the falx cerebri, serve as crucial diagnostic markers ranging from benign accumulations to signs of severe pathologies. The falx cerebri, a dural fold that separates the cerebral hemispheres, presents ...
INTRODUCTION: Breast arterial calcifications (BAC) are common incidental findings on routine mammograms, which have been suggested as a sex-specific biomarker of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Previous work showed the efficacy of a pretrained con...
Calcification of the aortic valve (CAVDS) is a major cause of aortic stenosis (AS) leading to loss of valve function which requires the substitution by surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI). These ...
