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...
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...
The aim of this review is to provide an overview of different functional cardiac CT techniques which can be used to supplement assessment of the coronary arteries to establish the significance of coronary artery stenoses. We focus on cine-CT, CT-FFR,...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate a deep learning technique, more specifically state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNN), for automatic characterization of polar maps derived from myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) studies for the diagnosis of cor...
Myocardial perfusion (MP) PET imaging plays a key role in risk assessment and stratification of patients with coronary artery disease. In this work, we proposed a patch-based artificial neural network (ANN) fusion approach that integrates information...

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this work was to assess the feasibility of acquisition time reduction in MPI-SPECT imaging using deep leering techniques through two main approaches, namely reduction of the acquisition time per projection and reduction o...
BACKGROUND: Myocardial perfusion reflects the macro- and microvascular coronary circulation. Recent quantitation developments using cardiovascular magnetic resonance perfusion permit automated measurement clinically. We explored the prognostic signif...
