Epicardial adipose tissue, myocardial remodelling and adverse outcomes in asymptomatic aortic stenosis: a post hoc analysis of a randomised controlled trial.

Heart (British Cardiac Society)
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...

The Current State of Artificial Intelligence on Detecting Pulmonary Embolism via Computerised Tomography Pulmonary Angiogram: A Systematic Review.

British journal of hospital medicine (London, England : 2005)
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...

Research on ischemic stroke risk assessment based on CTA radiomics and machine learning.

BMC medical imaging
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.

Two birds with one stone: pre-TAVI coronary CT angiography combined with FFR helps screen for coronary stenosis.

BMC medical imaging
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)...

Improving lower-extremity artery depiction and diagnostic confidence using dual-energy technique and popliteal artery monitoring in dual-low dose CT angiography.

Scientific reports
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...

Application of deep learning reconstruction combined with time-resolved post-processing method to improve image quality in CTA derived from low-dose cerebral CT perfusion data.

BMC medical imaging
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...

Application and optimization of the U-Net++ model for cerebral artery segmentation based on computed tomographic angiography images.

European journal of radiology
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...

Fast and automatic coronary artery segmentation using nnU-Net for non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance coronary angiography.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance coronary angiography (MRCA) is a promising coronary heart disease screening modality. However, its clinical application is hindered by inherent limitations, including low spatial resolution and insufficient co...

Optimising coronary imaging decisions with machine learning: an external validation study.

Open heart
BACKGROUND: Exclusion of coronary stenosis in individuals with suggestive symptoms is challenging. Cardiac CT or coronary angiography is often used but is inefficient and costly and involves risks. Sex-stratified algorithms based on electronic health...

Impact of CT reconstruction algorithms on pericoronary and epicardial adipose tissue attenuation.

European journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the impact of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-Veo (ASIR-V) and deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithms on the quantification of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) and epicardial adi...
