BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Reliable recognition of large vessel occlusion (LVO) on noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) may accelerate identification of endovascular treatment candidates. We aim to validate a machine learning algorithm (MethinksLVO) t...
The aim of this review is to provide an overview of different functional cardiac CT techniques which can be used to supplement assessment of the coronary arteries to establish the significance of coronary artery stenoses. We focus on cine-CT, CT-FFR,...

BACKGROUND: Quantitative coronary plaque parameters are increasingly being utilized as surrogate endpoints of pharmaceutical trials. However, little is known whether differences in segmentation significantly alter parameter values.
Cerebral computed tomography angiography is a widely available imaging technique that helps in the diagnosis of vascular pathologies. Contrast administration is needed to accurately assess the arteries. On non-contrast computed tomography, arteries a...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of applying a deep learning-based denoising technique to coronary CT angiography (CCTA) along with iterative reconstruction for additional noise reduction.
This study sought to evaluate the association of breast arterial calcification (BAC) on breast screening mammography with the Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) based on Deep Learning-coronary computed tomography angiography...
