Thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) is a prominent risk factor for plaque rupture. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) enables identification of fibrous cap (FC), measurement of FC thicknesses, and assessment of plaque vulnerability. We deve...
Patients with acute coronary syndromes caused by plaque erosion might be managed conservatively without stenting. Currently, the diagnosis of plaque erosion requires an invasive imaging procedure. We sought to develop a deep learning (DL) model that ...

PURPOSE: Carotid ultrasound allows noninvasive assessment of vascular anatomy and function with real-time display. Based on the transfer learning method, a series of research results have been obtained on the optimal image recognition and analysis of...
OBJECTIVES: While the link between carotid plaque composition and cerebrovascular vascular (CVE) events is recognized, the role of calcium configuration remains unclear. This study aimed to develop and validate a CT angiography (CTA)-based machine le...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of super-resolution deep-learning-based reconstruction (SR-DLR) on the image quality of coronary CT angiography (CCTA).
BACKGROUND: Carotid plaque volume (CPV) can be measured by 3D ultrasound and may be a better predictor of stroke than stenosis, but analysis time limits clinical utility. This study tested the accuracy, reproducibility, and time saved of using an art...
Healed coronary plaques, morphologically characterized by a layered phenotype, are signs of previous plaque destabilization and healing. Recent optical coherence tomography (OCT) studies demonstrated that layered plaque is associated with higher leve...
In recent years, software-assisted imaging systems, such as computed tomography, have contributed to the improvement of noninvasive options for the diagnostics of coronary heart disease (CHD). In addition, the possibilities of individual morphologica...
OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major healthcare challenge and therefore early risk assessment is vital. Previous assessment techniques use either "conventional CVD risk calculators (CCVRC)" or machine learning (ML) paradigms. These tech...
