BACKGROUND: A significant number of individuals undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for suspected (CAD) have nonobstructive or no CAD. There is a need for clinically proven models that can predict the pretest probability of sta...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of mortality, creating an urgent need for reproducible, image-based decision support. Although YOLOv8-based detectors underpin much of today's state-of-the-art stenosis detection, their accuracy...
BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical diagnostics has significantly impacted cardiology by enhancing diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies. Coronary artery disease continues to be a leading cause of global...
BACKGROUND: Given the challenges faced during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for heavily calcified lesions, accurately predicting PCI success is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes and optimizing procedural strategies.
Metaverse offers an immersive healthcare platform that combines virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI), providing a new approach to medical diagnostics. However, difficulties such as inadequate spatial resolution, uncertainty managemen...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant promise for medical applications, particularly in coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). We assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of cardiovascular health care perso...
BACKGROUND: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) share overlapping pathogenic mechanisms including adipose tissue dysfunction, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation mediated by adipokines. However, the sp...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of deep learning-based post-hoc noise reduction (DLNR) on image quality, coronary artery disease reporting and data system (CAD-RADS) assessment, and diagnostic performance in quarter-dose versus full-dose coronary CT ...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography is an inadequate method for detecting myocardial focal scar (MFS) due to its moderate density resolution, which is insufficient for distinguishing MFS from artificial beam-hardening (BH). Virtual monochromatic images (...
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)...
