Coronary artery centerline extraction in cardiac CT angiography using a CNN-based orientation classifier.

Medical image analysis
Coronary artery centerline extraction in cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) images is a prerequisite for evaluation of stenoses and atherosclerotic plaque. In this work, we propose an algorithm that extracts coronary artery centerlines in CCTA using a con...

A Magnetically Controlled Soft Microrobot Steering a Guidewire in a Three-Dimensional Phantom Vascular Network.

Soft robotics
Magnetically actuated soft robots may improve the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Significant progress has been made in the development of soft robotic systems that steer catheters. A more challenging task, however, is the develo...

Machine learning in cardiac CT: Basic concepts and contemporary data.

Journal of cardiovascular computed tomography
Propelled by the synergy of the groundbreaking advancements in the ability to analyze high-dimensional datasets and the increasing availability of imaging and clinical data, machine learning (ML) is poised to transform the practice of cardiovascular ...

A Novel Multiscale Gaussian-Matched Filter Using Neural Networks for the Segmentation of X-Ray Coronary Angiograms.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The accurate and efficient segmentation of coronary arteries in X-ray angiograms represents an essential task for computer-aided diagnosis. This paper presents a new multiscale Gaussian-matched filter (MGMF) based on artificial neural networks. The p...

Robotic-assisted transradial diagnostic coronary angiography.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
Robotic percutaneous coronary interventions have recently been introduced in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Robotics offers benefits of greater precision for stent placement and occupational hazard protection for operators and staff. First g...

In Situ Skeletonized Right Internal Mammary Artery Bypass Grafting to Left Anterior Descending Artery.

International heart journal
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and the mid-term efficacy of an in situ skeletonized right internal mammary artery (IMA) bypass grafting to a left anterior descending artery (LAD), and to determine risk factors for IMA graft failure in a...
