BACKGROUND: Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is a primary imaging modality that visualizes the lumen area of coronary arteries for diagnosis and interventional guidance. In the current practice of quantitative coronary analysis (QCA), semi-automat...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to cardiac imaging may provide improved processing, reading precision and advantages of automation. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score testing is a standard stratification tool that is rapid and highl...

At present, most vascular intervention robots cannot cope with the more common coronary complex lesions in the clinic. Moreover, the lack of effective force feedback increases the risk of surgery. In this paper, a vascular interventional robot that c...
In vivo application of intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) imaging for coronary arteries is hampered by motion artifacts associated with the cardiac cycle. Gating is a common strategy to mitigate motion artifacts. However, a large amount of diagnostic...

OBJECTIVE: Early revascularization of the occluded coronary artery in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been demonstrated to decrease mortality and morbidity. Currently, physicians rely on features of electrocardiograms (EC...
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...
