The lumen centerline of the coronary artery allows vessel reconstruction used to detect stenoses and plaques. Discrete-action-based centerline extraction methods suffer from artifacts and plaques. This study aimed to develop a continuous-action-based...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used to screen for coronary artery calcification. As the coronary artery has complicated structure and tiny lumen, manual screening is a time-consuming task. Recently, many deep learning methods ha...
