OBJECTIVE: Diagnostic accuracy of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is not optimal to predict the result of angiography. The current study aimed at investigating the application of artificial neural network (ANN) to integrate the clinical data with ...
Myocardial perfusion imaging is a non-invasive imaging technique commonly used for the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease and is based on the injection of radiopharmaceutical tracers into the blood stream. The patient's heart is imaged while at res...

BACKGROUND: Phase contrast (PC) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is widely employed for flow quantification, but analysis typically requires time consuming manual segmentation which can require human correction. Advances in machine learning ha...
We propose a patient-specific ("personalized") approach for tailoring the injected activities to individual patients in order to achieve dose reduction in SPECT-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). First, we develop a strategy to determine the minimum...
OBJECTIVES: The patient-based diagnosis with an artificial neural network (ANN) has shown potential utility for the detection of coronary artery disease; however, the region-based accuracy of the detected regions has not been fully evaluated. The aim...
