RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of deep learning-based imaging reconstruction (DLIR) on quantitative results of coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and to evaluate the potential of DLIR for radiation dose reduction in CACS.
BACKGROUND: Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) offers objective and reproducible measures of coronary lesions. However, significant inter- and intra-observer variability and time-consuming processes hinder the practical application of on-site QC...

We evaluated the diagnostic performance of a deep-learning model (DLM) (CorEx®, Spimed-AI, Paris, France) designed to automatically detect > 50% coronary stenosis on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images. We studied inter-observer va...

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...
