Cardiac motion artifacts frequently reduce the interpretability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images and potentially lead to misinterpretations or preclude the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this paper, a novel mo...
OBJECTIVE: Knowledge-based iterative model reconstruction (IMR) yields diagnostically acceptable image quality in low-dose static computed tomography (CT). We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of IMR in dynamic myocardial computed tomography perfusio...

BACKGROUND: Deep learning (DL) has achieved great success in medical imaging and could be utilized for the non-invasive calculation of fractional flow reserve (FFR) from coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) (CT-FFR).
To evaluate deep learning-based calcium segmentation and quantification on ECG-gated cardiac CT scans compared with manual evaluation. Automated calcium quantification was performed using a neural network based on mask regions with convolutional neur...
