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...

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-based coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) and assessing fractional flow reserve (FFR) in asymptomatic mal...
BACKGROUND: Plaque quantification from coronary computed tomography angiography has emerged as a valuable predictor of cardiovascular risk. Deep learning can provide automated quantification of coronary plaque from computed tomography angiography. We...
Wall Shear Stress (WSS) is one of the most important parameters used in cardiovascular fluid mechanics, and it provides a lot of information like the risk level caused by any vascular occlusion. Since WSS cannot be measured directly and other availab...
BACKGROUND: Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) typically employs traditional edge detection algorithms that often require manual correction. This has important implications for the accuracy of downstream 3D coronary reconstructions and computed ...
