Ischemia and outcome prediction by cardiac CT based machine learning.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Cardiac CT using non-enhanced coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and coronary CT angiography (cCTA) has been proven to provide excellent evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) combining anatomical and morphological assessment of CAD for card...

From CT to artificial intelligence for complex assessment of plaque-associated risk.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
The recent technological developments in the field of cardiac imaging have established coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as a first-line diagnostic tool in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). CCTA offers robust inform...

Detecting vulnerable plaque with vulnerability index based on convolutional neural networks.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Plaque rupture and subsequent thrombosis are major processes of acute cardiovascular events. The Vulnerability Index is a very important indicator of whether a plaque is ruptured, and these easily ruptured or fragile plaques can be detected early. Th...

Fully automated plaque characterization in intravascular OCT images using hybrid convolutional and lumen morphology features.

Scientific reports
For intravascular OCT (IVOCT) images, we developed an automated atherosclerotic plaque characterization method that used a hybrid learning approach, which combined deep-learning convolutional and hand-crafted, lumen morphological features. Processing...

Bimodal Automated Carotid Ultrasound Segmentation Using Geometrically Constrained Deep Neural Networks.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
For asymptomatic patients suffering from carotid stenosis, the assessment of plaque morphology is an important clinical task which allows monitoring of the risk of plaque rupture and future incidents of stroke. Ultrasound Imaging provides a safe and ...

Semantic segmentation with DenseNets for carotid artery ultrasound plaque segmentation and CIMT estimation.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The measurement of carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in ultrasound images can be used to detect the presence of atherosclerotic plaques. Usually, the CIMT estimation strategy is semi-automatic, since it requires: (1) a m...

Motion-corrected coronary calcium scores by a convolutional neural network: a robotic simulating study.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: To classify motion-induced blurred images of calcified coronary plaques so as to correct coronary calcium scores on nontriggered chest CT, using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) trained by images of motion artifacts.

Automated Detection of Vulnerable Plaque for Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Images.

Cardiovascular engineering and technology
PURPOSE: Vulnerable plaque detection is important to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) diagnosis. In recent years, intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) imaging has been used for vulnerable plaque detection. Current automated detection metho...
