BACKGROUND: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is widely used as a first-line tool for diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease (CAD), and machine learning (ML)-based analysis shows promise for quantitative CAD assessment.
Metaverse offers an immersive healthcare platform that combines virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI), providing a new approach to medical diagnostics. However, difficulties such as inadequate spatial resolution, uncertainty managemen...
OBJECTIVES: Since coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients with aortic valve stenosis, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) can be avoided if significant CAD can be screened with the non-invasive coronary CT angiography (cCTA)...
BACKGROUND: Exclusion of coronary stenosis in individuals with suggestive symptoms is challenging. Cardiac CT or coronary angiography is often used but is inefficient and costly and involves risks. Sex-stratified algorithms based on electronic health...

In symptomatic patients undergoing coronary CTA for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), we assessed if quantification of plaque burden, in addition to luminal narrowing and clinical risk factors, offers incremental value for the identification o...
PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting coronary artery stenosis and calcified plaque on CT angiography (CTA), comparing its diagnostic performance with that of radiologists.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prevalent cardiovascular condition with profound health implications. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the gold standard for diagnosing vascular disease, but its invasiveness and procedural demands unde...
To analyze radiomics features of cardiac adipose tissue in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), integrating relevant clinical indicators, and employing machine learning techniques to construct a preci...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of mortality, is caused by atherosclerotic plaque buildup in the arteries. The gold standard for the diagnosis of CAD is via X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) during percutaneo...
