Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been widely used to capture cross sectional lumen frames of inner wall of coronary arteries. This kind of medical imaging modalities is capable of providing detailed and significant information of lumen contour sha...
PURPOSE: To enable fast reconstruction of undersampled motion-compensated whole-heart 3D coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA) by learning a multi-scale variational neural network (MS-VNN) which allows the acquisition of high-quality 1.2 × 1...
PURPOSE: To accelerate coronary MRI acquisitions with arbitrary undersampling patterns by using a novel reconstruction algorithm that applies coil self-consistency using subject-specific neural networks.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in qualitative and quantitative image quality of non-contrast magnetic resonance coronary angiography (MRCA).
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume (cm) and attenuation (Hounsfield units) may predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of fully automated deep learning-based EAT volume and attenua...

Extensive research has been devoted to the segmentation of the coronary artery. However, owing to its complex anatomical structure, it is extremely challenging to automatically segment the coronary artery from 3D coronary computed tomography angiogra...
X-ray coronary angiography is a primary imaging technique for diagnosing coronary diseases. Although quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) provides morphological information of coronary arteries with objective quantitative measures, considerable tr...
