BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous coronary interventional procedures need advance planning prior to stenting or an endarterectomy. Cardiologists use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for screening, risk assessment and stratification of coronary ar...
Patient-specific blood flow modeling combining imaging data and computational fluid dynamics can aid in the assessment of coronary artery disease. Accurate coronary segmentation and realistic physiologic modeling of boundary conditions are important ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of deep learning-based image conversion on the accuracy of automated coronary artery calcium quantification using thin-slice, sharp-kernel, non-gated, low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) images collected from m...

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease, exacting high morbidity and mortality worldwide. CAD is detected on coronary artery imaging; coronary artery segmentation (CAS) of the images is essential for corona...
Advancements in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) facilitated the transition from traditional histological approaches to comprehensive plaque burden assessment. Recent updates in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines empha...

PURPOSE: Identifying and quantifying coronary artery calcification (CAC) is crucial for preoperative planning, as it helps to estimate both the complexity of the 2D coronary angiography (2DCA) procedure and the risk of developing intraoperative compl...
The registration of coronary artery structures from preoperative coronary computed tomography angiography to intraoperative coronary angiography is of great interest to improve guidance in percutaneous coronary interventions. However, non-rigid defor...
