A Video-based Automated Tracking and Analysis System of Plaque Burden in Carotid Artery Using Deep Learning: A Comparison with Senior Sonographers.

Current medical imaging
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...

Enhanced Diagnosis of Plaque Erosion by Deep Learning in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes.

JACC. Cardiovascular interventions
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 ...

Rapid lipid-laden plaque identification in intravascular optical coherence tomography imaging based on time-series deep learning.

Journal of biomedical optics
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...

Deep learning-enabled coronary CT angiography for plaque and stenosis quantification and cardiac risk prediction: an international multicentre study.

The Lancet. Digital health
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...

Stratification of carotid atheromatous plaque using interpretable deep learning methods on B-mode ultrasound images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Carotid atherosclerosis is the major cause of ischemic stroke resulting in significant rates of mortality and disability annually. Early diagnosis of such cases is of great importance, since it enables clinicians to apply a more effective treatment s...

Relationship of age, atherosclerosis and angiographic stenosis using artificial intelligence.

Open heart
OBJECTIVE: The study evaluates the relationship of coronary stenosis, atherosclerotic plaque characteristics (APCs) and age using artificial intelligence enabled quantitative coronary computed tomographic angiography (AI-QCT).

Prediction of atherosclerotic disease progression combining computational modelling with machine learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Non-invasive serial computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) was acquired from 32 patients and 3D reconstruction of 58 coronary arteries was achieved. The arterial geometries were utilized for blood flow and LDL transport modelling. Navier-Sto...

Deep Learning for Carotid Plaque Segmentation using a Dilated U-Net Architecture.

Ultrasonic imaging
Carotid plaque segmentation in ultrasound longitudinal B-mode images using deep learning is presented in this work. We report on 101 severely stenotic carotid plaque patients. A standard U-Net is compared with a dilated U-Net architecture in which th...

A novel machine learning-derived radiotranscriptomic signature of perivascular fat improves cardiac risk prediction using coronary CT angiography.

European heart journal
BACKGROUND: Coronary inflammation induces dynamic changes in the balance between water and lipid content in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), as captured by perivascular Fat Attenuation Index (FAI) in standard coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Howeve...
