Plaque components segmentation in carotid artery on simultaneous non-contrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging using machine learning.

Magnetic resonance imaging
PURPOSE: This study sought to determine the feasibility of using Simultaneous Non-contrast Angiography and intraPlaque Hemorrhage (SNAP) to detect the lipid-rich/necrotic core (LRNC), and develop a machine learning based algorithm to segment plaque c...

The best predictor of ischemic coronary stenosis: subtended myocardial volume, machine learning-based FFR, or high-risk plaque features?

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of a machine learning (ML)-based FFR algorithm, quantified subtended myocardial volume, and high-risk plaque features for predicting if a coronary stenosis is hemodynamically s...

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Atherosclerosis Imaging and Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning-Based Tissue Characterization.

Current atherosclerosis reports
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease which may result in a higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) events and stroke. Tissue characterization and risk stratification of patients with rheumatoid arthritis are a ...

Coronary CT angiography-derived plaque quantification with artificial intelligence CT fractional flow reserve for the identification of lesion-specific ischemia.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: We sought to investigate the diagnostic performance of coronary CT angiography (cCTA)-derived plaque markers combined with deep machine learning-based fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) to identify lesion-specific ischemia using invasive FF...

A Recurrent CNN for Automatic Detection and Classification of Coronary Artery Plaque and Stenosis in Coronary CT Angiography.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Various types of atherosclerotic plaque and varying grades of stenosis could lead to different management of patients with a coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to de...

Iterative quality enhancement via residual-artifact learning networks for low-dose CT.

Physics in medicine and biology
Radiation exposure and the associated risk of cancer for patients in computed tomography (CT) scans have been major clinical concerns. The radiation exposure can be reduced effectively via lowering the x-ray tube current (mA). However, this strategy ...

Calcium detection, its quantification, and grayscale morphology-based risk stratification using machine learning in multimodality big data coronary and carotid scans: A review.

Computers in biology and medicine
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. Typically, atherosclerotic calcium is found during the mature stage of the atherosclerosis disease. It is therefore often a challenge to identify and ...
