During the latest years, artificial intelligence, and especially machine learning (ML), have experienced a growth in popularity due to their versatility and potential in solving complex problems. In fact, ML allows the efficient handling of big volum...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a novel fully automated deep learning (DL) algorithm implementing a recurrent neural network (RNN) with long short-term memory (LSTM) for the detection of coronary artery calcium (CAC...
Coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA) is a reliable and clinically proven method for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. cCTA data sets can be used to derive fractional flow reserve (FFR) as CT-FFR. This method has respectable result...

AIMS: Although deep-learning algorithms have been used to compute fractional flow reserve (FFR) from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), no study has achieved 'fully automated' (i.e. free from human input) FFR calculation using deep-lear...
AIMS: Symptom-based pretest probability scores that estimate the likelihood of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in stable chest pain have moderate accuracy. We sought to develop a machine learning (ML) model, utilizing clinical factors and t...

OBJECTIVE: Knowledge-based iterative model reconstruction (IMR) yields diagnostically acceptable image quality in low-dose static computed tomography (CT). We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of IMR in dynamic myocardial computed tomography perfusio...
OBJECTIVES: Cancer has been proposed as a cardiovascular risk factor. We aimed to assess the cardiovascular risk profile and coronary angiography (CA) findings of cancer patients and compare them to those of patients without cancer.
