BACKGROUND: The clinical application of coronary MR angiography (MRA) remains limited due to its long acquisition time and often unsatisfactory image quality. A compressed sensing artificial intelligence (CSAI) framework was recently introduced to ov...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have evaluated the learning curve to achieve competency in robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) but have not identified thresholds for mastery. Robotic-assisted CABG is a minimally invasive alternative ...
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (RA-MIDCAB) surgery and hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) are minimally invasive alternative strategies to conventional coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with i...
BACKGROUND: Post-processing and interpretation of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) imaging are time-consuming and dependent on the reader's experience. An automated deep learning (DL)-based imaging reconstruction and diagnosis system was developed to i...
Recently, algorithms capable of assessing the severity of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in form of the Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) grade from Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) scans using Deep Learning (...

Myocardial ischemia diagnosis with CT perfusion imaging (CTP) is important in coronary artery disease management. Traditional analysis procedure is time-consuming and error-prone due to the semi-manual and operator-dependent nature. To improve the di...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is a marker of visceral obesity that can be measured in coronary computed tomography angiograms (CCTA). The clinical value of integrating this measurement in routine CCTA interpretation has not been ...
