Our aim was to identify and quantify high coronary artery calcium (CAC) with deep learning (DL)-powered CAC scoring (CACS) in oncological patients with known very high CAC (≥ 1000) undergoing 18F-FDG-PET/CT for re-/staging. 100 patients were enrolled...
BACKGROUND: The predictive role of chest radiographs in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) is underestimated and may benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization reported that cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide. On average, one person dies of heart disease every 26 min worldwide. Deep learning approaches are characterized by the appropr...
In recent years, software-assisted imaging systems, such as computed tomography, have contributed to the improvement of noninvasive options for the diagnostics of coronary heart disease (CHD). In addition, the possibilities of individual morphologica...
BACKGROUND: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is frequently used to provide risk stratification, but methods to improve the accuracy of these predictions are needed.

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) has high diagnostic accuracy for coronary artery disease (CAD) from myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). However, when trained using high-risk populations (such as patients with correlating invasive testing), the ...

To improve diagnostic accuracy, myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) SPECT studies can use CT-based attenuation correction (AC). However, CT-based AC is not available for most SPECT systems in clinical use, increases radiation exposure, and is impacted...
