AIMS: Coronary computed tomography angiography provides non-invasive assessment of coronary stenosis severity and flow impairment. Automated artificial intelligence (AI) analysis may assist in precise quantification and characterization of coronary a...
BACKGROUND: Stent malapposition (SM) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for myocardial infarction continues to present significant clinical challenges. In recent years, machine learning (ML) models have demonstrated potential in disea...

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive imaging modality of cardiac structures and vasculature considered comparable to invasive coronary angiography for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) in several major cardio...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The incidence of stroke is rising, and it is the second major cause of mortality and the third leading cause of disability around the globe. The goal of this study was to rapidly and accurately identify carotid plaques and a...
BACKGROUND: Acute coronary syndromes caused by plaque erosion might be potentially managed conservatively without stenting. Currently, the diagnosis of plaque erosion requires expertise in optical coherence tomographic (OCT) image interpretation. In ...
SIGNIFICANCE: Coronary heart disease has the highest rate of death and morbidity in the Western world. Atherosclerosis is an asymptomatic condition that is considered the primary cause of cardiovascular diseases. The accumulation of low-density lipop...
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic plaque quantification from coronary CT angiography (CCTA) enables accurate assessment of coronary artery disease burden and prognosis. We sought to develop and validate a deep learning system for CCTA-derived measures of p...
