Incidental Finding of Coronary and Non-Coronary Artery Calcium: What Do Clinicians Need To Know?

Current atherosclerosis reports
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...

A plaque recognition algorithm for coronary OCT images by Dense Atrous Convolution and attention mechanism.

PloS one
Currently, plaque segmentation in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images of coronary arteries is primarily carried out manually by physicians, and the accuracy of existing automatic segmentation techniques needs further improvement. To furnish eff...

Diffusion-based image translation model from low-dose chest CT to calcium scoring CT with random point sampling.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is an important method for cardiovascular risk assessment. While artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to automate CAC scoring in calcium scoring computed tomography (CSCT), its application to...

Leveraging pulse wave signal properties for coronary artery calcification screening in CKD patients.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are particularly susceptible to coronary atherosclerosis, which can be assessed using computed tomography (CT)-based coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. However, such a costly examination mi...

Deep learning-based classification of coronary arteries and left ventricle using multimodal data for autonomous protocol selection or adjustment in angiography.

Scientific reports
Optimal selection of X-ray imaging parameters is crucial in coronary angiography and structural cardiac procedures to ensure optimal image quality and minimize radiation exposure. These anatomydependent parameters are organized into customizable orga...

Fast and automatic coronary artery segmentation using nnU-Net for non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance coronary angiography.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance coronary angiography (MRCA) is a promising coronary heart disease screening modality. However, its clinical application is hindered by inherent limitations, including low spatial resolution and insufficient co...

Optimising coronary imaging decisions with machine learning: an external validation study.

Open heart
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...
