The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of fuzzy rule-based classification that could noninvasively predict CAD based on myocardial perfusion scan test and clinical-epidemiological variables. This was a cross-sectional study in which the ...
Patient-specific blood flow modeling combining imaging data and computational fluid dynamics can aid in the assessment of coronary artery disease. Accurate coronary segmentation and realistic physiologic modeling of boundary conditions are important ...
Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a non-invasive method for anatomic evaluation of coronary artery stenoses. However, CTA is prone to artifacts that reduce the diagnostic accuracy to identify stenoses. Further, CTA does not allow for d...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate if early revascularization in patients with suspected coronary artery disease can be effectively predicted by integrating clinical data and quantitative image features derived from perfusion SPECT (MPS) by machine l...
To explore the feasibility of a coronary angiography-based method developed with artificial intelligence which was able to automatically and quickly calculate coronary volumetric blood flow and coronary flow reserve (CFR), and explore the difference...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the image quality of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CCTA) in obese patients by using deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) in comparison with adaptive statistical iterative reconstru...
Background Chest pain is a leading cause of outpatient and emergency department visits; advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) could improve coronary CT angiography (CCTA) workflows for these patients. Purpose To evaluate the performance of an ...
