BACKGROUND: Despite evidence supporting use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous waves-free ratio (iFR) to improve outcome of patients undergoing coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention, such techniques are stil...
Background Precise assessment of myocardial ischemia burden and cardiovascular risk stratification based on dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is lacking. Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for automated quantificat...

AIMS: Identification of proximal coronary artery calcium (CAC) may improve prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) beyond the CAC score, particularly in patients with low CAC burden. We investigated whether the proximal CAC can be detected ...
Background Multimodality imaging is essential for personalized prognostic stratification in suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Machine learning (ML) methods can help address this complexity by incorporating a broader spectrum of variables. Purp...

Manual segmentation of coronary arteries in computed tomography angiography (CTA) images is inefficient, and existing deep learning segmentation models often exhibit low accuracy on coronary artery images. Inspired by the Transformer architecture, th...
In the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has influenced the field of cardiac computed tomography (CT), with its scope further enhanced by advanced methodologies such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). The AI-driven techniques le...
Purpose To assess the diagnostic performance of a coronary CT angiography (CCTA) artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tool (AI-QCPA; HeartFlow) to quantify plaque volume, as compared with intravascular US (IVUS). Materials and Methods A retrospective...
To investigate the impact of the deep-learning-based CT fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) on clinical decision-making and long-term prognosis in patients with obstructive coronary heart disease. In this single-center retrospective cohort study, cons...
To develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic model for coronary artery disease based on facial photos. This study was a cross-sectional study. Patients who were scheduled to undergo coronary angiography (CAG) at Beijing Anzhen...
