BACKGROUND: Coronary calcification associates closely with cardiovascular risk, but its progress is accelerated in response to some interventions widely used to reduce risk. This paradox suggests that qualitative, not just quantitative, changes in ca...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become the best imaging tool to assess calcified plaque and nodule. However, every OCT pullback has numerous images, and artificial analysis requires too much time and energy. Thus, it is unsuitable for clinical...
OBJECTIVES: Volumetric evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) allows better prediction of cardiac events. However, CAD segmentation is labor intensive. Our objective was to create an open-source deep learning (DL) model to segment coronary plaqu...
INTRODUCTION: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an atherosclerotic disease leading to stenosis and/or occlusion of the arterial circulation of the lower extremities. The currently available revascularisation methods have an acceptable initial succ...
OBJECTIVES: An automatic system utilizing both the advantages of the neural network and the radiomics was proposed for coronary plaque detection, classification, and stenosis grading.
The study proposes a novel machine learning (ML) paradigm for cardiovascular disease (CVD) detection in individuals at medium to high cardiovascular risk using data from a Greek cohort of 542 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, or diabetes mellitu...
BACKGROUND: Early and automated detection of carotid plaques prevents strokes, which are the second leading cause of death worldwide according to the World Health Organization. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers automated solutions for plaque tissue...

BACKGROUND: The death due to stroke is caused by embolism of the arteries which is due to the rupture of the atherosclerotic lesions in carotid arteries. The lesion formation is over time, and thus, early screening is recommended for asymptomatic and...
BACKGROUND: Motion artifacts affect the images of coronary calcified plaques. This study utilized convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify the motion-contaminated images of moving coronary calcified plaques and to determine the influential fa...
