PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-based coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) on non-electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated chest CT, using manual quantification as the reference standard, while characterizing per-vessel re...
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world, with coronary artery disease being the most prevalent. Coronary artery calcifications are critical biomarkers for cardiovascular disease, and their quantification via non-contrast c...
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD) mainly occurs in children under 5 years old, and the most common complication of KD is coronary artery lesion (CAL). In recent years, the incidence rate of KD has increased year by year worldwide, so it is particular...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of mortality, creating an urgent need for reproducible, image-based decision support. Although YOLOv8-based detectors underpin much of today's state-of-the-art stenosis detection, their accuracy...

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of global mortality, with stroke constituting a significant complication among patients undergoing coronary revascularization procedures, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...
BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical diagnostics has significantly impacted cardiology by enhancing diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies. Coronary artery disease continues to be a leading cause of global...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes the role of incidentally and non-incidentally discovered coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the evolving role of non-coronary artery calcification in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk a...
BACKGROUND: Given the challenges faced during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for heavily calcified lesions, accurately predicting PCI success is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes and optimizing procedural strategies.
PURPOSE: The clinical implications of coronary artery calcification (CAC) growth remain underexplored. This study aims to assess CAC growth and its association with adverse cardiovascular events (ACEs) in individuals undergoing lung cancer screening ...
