BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is associated with elevated risk of heart attack and increased accumulation of subclinical noncalcified coronary burden by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Machine learning algorithms have been shown to effective...
We present the coronary artery disease (CAD) database, a comprehensive resource, comprising 126 papers and 68 datasets relevant to CAD diagnosis, extracted from the scientific literature from 1992 and 2018. These data were collected to help advance r...
OBJECTIVE: To classify motion-induced blurred images of calcified coronary plaques so as to correct coronary calcium scores on nontriggered chest CT, using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) trained by images of motion artifacts.
