INTRODUCTION: Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) requires long-term surveillance to detect and treat postoperative complications. However, prediction models to optimise follow-up strategies are still lacking. The primary objective of this stu...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant promise for medical applications, particularly in coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). We assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of cardiovascular health care perso...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue represents a metabolically active visceral fat depot that is in direct contact with the left ventricular myocardium. While it is associated with coronary artery disease, little is known regarding its role in aort...

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition with significant diagnostic challenges due to high rates of missed or delayed detection. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is the current standard for diagnosing PE, however, dem...
BACKGROUND: The study explores the value of a model constructed by integrating CTA-based carotid plaque radiomic features, clinical risk factors, and plaque imaging characteristics for prognosticating the risk of ischemic stroke.
OBJECTIVES: Since coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients with aortic valve stenosis, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) can be avoided if significant CAD can be screened with the non-invasive coronary CT angiography (cCTA)...
To assess the utility of dual-energy CT scanning (DECTs) with popliteal artery (PA) monitoring in dual low-dose (radiation and contrast) lower-extremity CT angiography (LE-CTA). 135 patients undergoing LE-CTA were prospectively included and divided i...
BACKGROUND: To assess the effect of the combination of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and time-resolved maximum intensity projection (tMIP) or time-resolved average (tAve) post-processing method on image quality of CTA derived from low-dose cereb...
Accurate segmentation of cerebral arteries on computed tomography angiography (CTA) images is essential for the diagnosis and management of cerebrovascular diseases, including ischemic stroke. This study implemented a deep learning-based U-Net++ mode...
