Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been proposed to improve workflow for coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS), but simultaneous demonstration of improved efficiency, accuracy, and clinical stability have not been demonstrated. 148 sequential patients...
OBJECTIVES: This study expolored the relationship between perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) radiomic features derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and the presence of coronary artery plaques. It aimed to determine whether PVA...
We aimed to compare artificial intelligence (AI)-based coronary stenosis evaluation of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with its quantitative counterpart of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR)...
Estimation of the fractional flow reserve (FFR) pullback curve from invasive coronary imaging is important for the intraoperative guidance of coronary intervention. Machine/deep learning has been proven effective in FFR pullback curve estimation. How...

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the gold standard modality for in vivo visualization of coronary arteries and atherosclerotic plaques. Classification of coronary plaques helps to characterize heterogeneous components and evaluate the risk of plaqu...
This study, for the first time, explores the integration of data science and machine learning for the classification and prediction of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores. It focuses on tooth loss and patient characteristics as key input features to...
BACKGROUND: Recently developed artificial intelligence-based coronary angiography (AI-QCA, fully automated) provides real-time, objective, and reproducible quantitative analysis of coronary angiography without requiring additional time or labor.
INTRODUCTION: Manual Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scoring, crucial for assessing coronary artery disease risk, is time-consuming and variable. Deep learning, particularly through Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), promises to automate and enhance...
