BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Aortic dissection is a severe cardiovascular pathology in which an injury of the intimal layer of the aorta allows blood flowing into the aortic wall, forcing the wall layers apart. Such situation presents a high mortality r...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate an automatic, deep learning based method (Augmented Radiology for Vascular Aneurysm [ARVA]), to detect and assess maximum aortic diameter, providing cross sectional outer to outer aortic wall measureme...
It remains difficult to predict when which patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) will require surgery. The aim was to study the accuracy of geometric and biomechanical analysis of small AAAs to predict reaching the threshold for surgery, diam...
BACKGROUND: Patient movement during bolus tracking (BT) impairs the accuracy of Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements. This study assesses the accuracy of measuring HU values in the internal carotid artery (ICA) using an original deep learning (DL)-based...
BACKGROUND: To explore the characteristics of myocardial textures on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, a classification model was established, and the diagnostic effectiven...
Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is the gold standard for pulmonary embolism (PE) diagnosis. However, this diagnosis is susceptible to misdiagnosis. In this study, we aimed to perform a systematic review of current literature applyin...
The clinical characteristics and vascular computed tomography (CT) imaging characteristics of patients were explored so as to assist clinicians in diagnosing patients with atherosclerosis. 316 patients with atherosclerosis who were hospitalized for e...
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of reader experience, calcification and image quality on the performance of deep learning (DL) powered coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in automatically detecting obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) with inva...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a deep learning-based algorithm for segmenting and quantifying the physiological and diseased aorta in computed tomography angiographies.
OBJECTIVE: Investigation of asymptomatic carotid stenosis treatment is hindered by the lack of a contemporary population-based disease cohort. We describe the use of natural language processing (NLP) to identify stenosis in patients undergoing caroti...
