BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The standard non-invasive imaging technique used to assess the severity and extent of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA). However, manual grading of each patient's CCTA according...
OBJECTIVES: While the link between carotid plaque composition and cerebrovascular vascular (CVE) events is recognized, the role of calcium configuration remains unclear. This study aimed to develop and validate a CT angiography (CTA)-based machine le...

OBJECTIVE: Using two three-dimensional U-Net architectures for myocardium structure extraction and a distance transformation algorithm specifically for the left circumflex artery, we have designed a fully automated algorithm for coronary artery label...
A super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) algorithm trained using data acquired on the ultrahigh spatial resolution computed tomography (UHRCT) has the potential to provide better image quality of coronary arteries on the whole-heart, ...
This study aimed to evaluate the ability of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) compared to that of hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR) to depict small vessels on computed tomography (CT). DLR and two types of hybrid IRs were used for image reconstru...

OBJECTIVE: The increasing number of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) requests raised concerns about dose exposure. New dose reduction strategies based on artificial intelligence have been proposed to overcome limitations of iterative r...
PURPOSE: To evaluate a novel deep learning (DL)-based automated coronary labeling approach for structured reporting of coronary artery disease according to the guidelines of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (CT) on coronary CT angiog...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad discipline of computer science and engineering. Modern application of AI encompasses intelligent models and algorithms for automated data analysis and processing, data generation, and prediction with applicatio...
OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of in-stent restenosis (ISR), especially for small stents, remains challenging during computed tomography (CT) angiography. We used deep learning reconstruction to quantify stent strut thickness and lumen vessel diameter at the...
