Currently, plaque segmentation in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images of coronary arteries is primarily carried out manually by physicians, and the accuracy of existing automatic segmentation techniques needs further improvement. To furnish eff...
BACKGROUND: The study explores the value of a model constructed by integrating CTA-based carotid plaque radiomic features, clinical risk factors, and plaque imaging characteristics for prognosticating the risk of ischemic stroke.

In symptomatic patients undergoing coronary CTA for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), we assessed if quantification of plaque burden, in addition to luminal narrowing and clinical risk factors, offers incremental value for the identification o...
PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting coronary artery stenosis and calcified plaque on CT angiography (CTA), comparing its diagnostic performance with that of radiologists.
BACKGROUND: Coronary plaque features are imaging biomarkers of cardiovascular risk, but less is known about sex-specific patterns in their prognostic value. This study aimed to define sex differences in the coronary atherosclerotic phenotypes assesse...
PURPOSE: Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the segmentation of plaques on ultrasound images to evaluate the stability of carotid artery plaques and analyze its diagnostic accuracy in differentiating vulnerable plaques from stable ...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to develop and validate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that leverages CCTA and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images for automated analysis of plaque characteristics and coronary function.
This study aims to develop a deep learning model using high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) to differentiate symptom-related intracranial and extracranial plaques, which is crucial for stroke treatment and prevention. We retrospectively analy...
