BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcification (CAC), often assessed by computed tomography (CT), is a powerful marker of coronary artery disease that can guide preventive therapies. Computed tomographies, however, are not always accessible or serially ob...

BACKGROUND: To assess low-contrast areas such as plaque and coronary artery stenosis, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) needs to provide images with lower noise without increasing radiation doses.

PURPOSE: Although SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is susceptible to artifacts from soft tissue attenuation, most scans are performed without attenuation correction. Deep learning-based attenuation corrected (DLAC) polar maps improved diagnos...

While coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is crucial for detecting several coronary artery diseases, it fails to provide essential hemodynamic parameters for early detection and treatment. These parameters can be easily obtained by performing computationa...
BACKGROUND: The predictive role of chest radiographs in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) is underestimated and may benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
In recent years, software-assisted imaging systems, such as computed tomography, have contributed to the improvement of noninvasive options for the diagnostics of coronary heart disease (CHD). In addition, the possibilities of individual morphologica...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a pixel-to-pixel generative adversarial network (GAN) to remove motion artefacts in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images.
Background CT imaging of chronic total occlusion (CTO) is useful in guiding revascularization, but manual reconstruction and quantification are time consuming. Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for automated CTO reconstructio...
BACKGROUND: The early prediction of significant coronary artery lesion, including coronary vasospasm, have yet to be studied. It is essential to discern the disorders with significant coronary lesions (SCDs) requiring coronary angiography from mimick...
