Non-rigid motion-corrected reconstruction has been proposed to account for the complex motion of the heart in free-breathing 3D coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA). This reconstruction framework requires efficient and accurate estimation o...
Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is widely used as a diagnostic tool for evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite the excellent capability to rule-out CAD, CCTA may overestimate the degree of stenosis; furthermore, CCTA anal...
Rapid diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) using electrocardiography (ECG) is the cornerstone of effective treatment and prevention of mortality; however, conventional interpretation methods has low reliability for detecting MI and is difficulty t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease, which is mostly caused by atherosclerotic narrowing of the coronary artery lumen, is a leading cause of death. Coronary angiography is the standard method to estimate the severity of coronary artery ...
Despite the evidence of improved patients' outcome, fractional flow reserve (FFR) is underused in current everyday practice. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a novel automated artificial intelligence angiography-based FFR software (AutocathFFR...

BACKGROUND: Quantitative coronary plaque parameters are increasingly being utilized as surrogate endpoints of pharmaceutical trials. However, little is known whether differences in segmentation significantly alter parameter values.
BACKGROUND: The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated that annual screening with low dose CT in high-risk population was associated with reduction in lung cancer mortality. Nonetheless, the leading cause of mortality in the study was from...
