OBJECTIVES: To explore the use of 70-kVp tube voltage combined with high-strength deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR-H) in reducing radiation and contrast doses in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in patients with body mass index (BMI) < 26 kg/m,...
BACKGROUND: Automated segmentation of coronary arteries is a crucial step for computer-aided coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis and treatment planning. Correct delineation of the coronary artery is challenging in X-ray coronary angiography (XCA)...
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement is a treatment effective for coronary artery diseases. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) with high resolution is used clinically to visualize stent deployment and restenosis...
The risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) clinical manifestations and patient management is estimated according to risk scores accounting multifactorial risk factors, thus failing to cover the individual cardiovascular risk. Technological improvements...
UNLABELLED: The segmentation of coronary arteries in X-ray images is essential for image-based guiding procedures and the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. However, owing to the complex and thin structures of the coronary arteries, it is challengi...
Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis affecting children, which can lead to coronary artery (CA) aneurysms. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has identified CA wall damage in KD patients, but it is unclear if these findings correlate with any dist...
PURPOSE: To assess the image quality (IQ) of low tube voltage coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images reconstructed with deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR).
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 ...
