Vessel border detection in IVUS images is essential for coronary disease diagnosis. It helps to obtain the clinical indices on the inner vessel morphology to indicate the stenosis. However, the existing methods suffer the challenge of scale-dependent...
BACKGROUND: Timely prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) is imperative for reducing cardiovascular diseases-related mortality. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), the adipose tissue surrounding coronary arteries, has attracted inc...

BACKGROUND: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) represents the gold standard in guiding the decision to proceed or not with coronary revascularization of angiographically intermediate coronary lesion (AICL). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows to car...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is a new invasive indicator of myocardial ischaemia, and its diagnostic performance is as good as the "gold standard" of myocardial ischaemia diagnosis: fractional flow reserve (FFR). iFR...
. Bifurcation detection in intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images plays a significant role in guiding optimal revascularization strategies for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We propose a bifurcation detection method usin...
PURPOSE: To develop a new MR coronary angiography (MRCA) technique by employing a zigzag fan-shaped centric k-k k-space trajectory combined with high-resolution deep learning reconstruction (HR-DLR).
We develop and evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm that uses pre-rotation atherectomy (RA) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images to automatically predict regions debulked by RA. A total of 2106 IVUS cross-sections from 60 patien...
OBJECT: To enable high-quality physics-guided deep learning (PG-DL) reconstruction of large-scale 3D non-Cartesian coronary MRI by overcoming challenges of hardware limitations and limited training data availability.
BACKGROUND: When treating patients with coronary artery disease and concurrent renal concerns, we often encounter a conundrum: how to achieve a clearer view of vascular details while minimizing the contrast and radiation doses during percutaneous cor...
