INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans contain useful information beyond the Agatston CAC score that is not currently reported. We recently reported that artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled cardiac chambers volumetry in CAC scans (AI-CAC™...

This study assesses the agreement of Artificial Intelligence-Quantitative Computed Tomography (AI-QCT) with qualitative approaches to atherosclerotic disease burden codified in the multisociety 2022 CAD-RADS 2.0 Expert Consensus. 105 patients who und...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of deep learning-based imaging reconstruction (DLIR) on quantitative results of coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and to evaluate the potential of DLIR for radiation dose reduction in CACS.
Currently, clinically available coronary CT angiography (CCTA) derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) is time-consuming and complex. We propose a novel artificial intelligence-based fully-automated, on-site CT-FFR technology, which combines the aut...
PURPOSE: To verify the optimal imaging conditions for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) examinations when using high-definition (HD) mode and deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) in combination.

BACKGROUND: ECG-gated cardiac CT is now widely used in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) could improve image quality while minimizing the radiation dose.
OBJECTIVES: Current coronary CT angiography (CTA) guidelines suggest both end-systolic and mid-diastolic phases of the cardiac cycle can be used for CTA image acquisition. However, whether differences in the phase of the cardiac cycle influence coron...
