Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an essential part of the diagnosis of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) in patients with low-to-intermediate pre-test probability. The minimum technical requirement is 64-row multidetector CT (64-MDCT)...
Thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) is a prominent risk factor for plaque rupture. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) enables identification of fibrous cap (FC), measurement of FC thicknesses, and assessment of plaque vulnerability. We deve...
This study aimed to design an end-to-end deep learning model for estimating the value of fractional flow reserve (FFR) using angiography images to classify left anterior descending (LAD) branch angiography images with average stenosis between 50 and ...
The underuse of invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) in clinical practice has motivated research towards non-invasive prediction of FFR. Although the non-invasive derivation of FFR (FFR) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) principles has becom...
Patients with acute coronary syndromes caused by plaque erosion might be managed conservatively without stenting. Currently, the diagnosis of plaque erosion requires an invasive imaging procedure. We sought to develop a deep learning (DL) model that ...
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery is one of the least invasive approaches that offers multivessel revascularization and accelerated recovery. We investigated the benefits of computed tomography angiography (CTA) gui...

OBJECTIVE: Using two three-dimensional U-Net architectures for myocardium structure extraction and a distance transformation algorithm specifically for the left circumflex artery, we have designed a fully automated algorithm for coronary artery label...
A super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) algorithm trained using data acquired on the ultrahigh spatial resolution computed tomography (UHRCT) has the potential to provide better image quality of coronary arteries on the whole-heart, ...
