PURPOSE: This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-based coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) and assessing fractional flow reserve (FFR) in asymptomatic mal...
BACKGROUND: Although transcatheter aortic valve replacement has emerged as an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement, it requires extensive healthcare resources, and optimal length of hospital stay has become increasingly important. This st...

BACKGROUND: Myocardial fibrosis is often detected in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which causes left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and tachyarrhythmias.
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents a significant global health burden without established curative therapies. Early detection and preventive strategies are crucial for effective MASLD management. T...
BACKGROUND: Plaque quantification from coronary computed tomography angiography has emerged as a valuable predictor of cardiovascular risk. Deep learning can provide automated quantification of coronary plaque from computed tomography angiography. We...

BACKGROUND: The acquisition of contrast-enhanced T1 maps to calculate extracellular volume (ECV) requires contrast agent administration and is time consuming. This study investigates generative adversarial networks for contrast-free, virtual extracel...
: Intra/postpartum hemorrhage stands as a significant obstetric emergency, ranking among the top five leading causes of maternal mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive performance of four machine learning algorithms for the pre...
