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...

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...
