Background Separate noncontrast CT to quantify the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score often precedes coronary CT angiography (CTA). Quantifying CAC scores directly at CTA would eliminate the additional radiation produced at CT but remains challengin...
OBJECTIVES: Deep-learning image reconstruction (DLIR) offers unique opportunities for reducing image noise without degrading image quality or diagnostic accuracy in coronary CT angiography (CCTA). The present study aimed at exploiting the capabilitie...
PURPOSE: The purposes of this experimental study were to compare the quantitative and qualitative visibility of in-stent restenosis between conventional-resolution CT (CRCT) and ultra-high-resolution CT (U-HRCT) and to investigate the effects of the ...
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...
BACKGROUND: Current electrocardiogram analysis algorithms cannot predict the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), especially in stable patients. This study assessed the ability of an artificial intelligence algorithm (ECGio; HEARTio Inc, Pittsb...
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a diagnostic modality used during percutaneous coronary intervention. However, specialist skills are required to interpret IVUS images. To address this issue, we developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) program ...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a novel and generalizable super-resolution (SR) deep-learning framework for motion-compensated isotropic 3D coronary MR angiography (CMRA), which allows free-breathing acquisitions in less than a minute.
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: The aim of this study was to develop pre-procedural intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-based models for predicting the occurrence of stent underexpansion.
