The dark-rim artifact (DRA) remains an important challenge in the routine clinical use of first-pass perfusion (FPP) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI). The DRA mimics the appearance of perfusion defects in the subendocardial wall and reduces ...

PURPOSE: Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has been used to improve the diagnostic accuracy of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study was to design an...
As machine learning research in the field of cardiovascular imaging continues to grow, obtaining reliable model performance estimates is critical to develop reliable baselines and compare different algorithms. While the machine learning community has...
BACKGROUND: Assessment of both coronary artery calcium(CAC) scores and myocardial perfusion imaging(MPI) in patients suspected of coronary artery disease(CAD) provides incremental prognostic information. We used an automated method to determine CAC s...

We compared the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by conventional- (C-) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and cadmium-zinc-telluride- (CZT-) SPECT in a cohort of patients with suspected or known coronary artery d...
PURPOSE: Post-reconstruction filtering is often applied for noise suppression due to limited data counts in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We study a deep learning (DL) approach for denoisi...
