BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcification (CAC), often assessed by computed tomography (CT), is a powerful marker of coronary artery disease that can guide preventive therapies. Computed tomographies, however, are not always accessible or serially ob...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate performance of 1-mm, sharp kernel, low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) for coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) using deep learning (DL)-based denoising technique.
BACKGROUND: Deep learning image reconstructions (DLIR) have been recently introduced as an alternative to filtered back projection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms for computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction. The aim of this s...

BACKGROUND: To assess low-contrast areas such as plaque and coronary artery stenosis, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) needs to provide images with lower noise without increasing radiation doses.

PURPOSE: Although SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is susceptible to artifacts from soft tissue attenuation, most scans are performed without attenuation correction. Deep learning-based attenuation corrected (DLAC) polar maps improved diagnos...
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.
