OBJECTIVES: Since coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients with aortic valve stenosis, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) can be avoided if significant CAD can be screened with the non-invasive coronary CT angiography (cCTA)...
The coronary angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) curve, referred to as the Angio-FFR curve, is crucial for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The invasive FFR is the diagnostic gold standard for determining functional sig...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of ill health and death worldwide. Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is the first-line investigation to detect CAD in symptomatic patients. This diagnostic approach risks greater second-li...

This study proposed noninvasive machine-learning models for the detection of lesion-specific ischemia (LSI) in patients with stable angina with intermediate stenosis severity based on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography. This single-center ...
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...

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: 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 ...
