OBJECTIVES: CT pulmonary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary embolism, and DL algorithms are being developed to manage the increase in demand. The nnU-Net is a new auto-adaptive DL framework that minimizes manual tuning, making ...
OBJECTIVE: To propose a convolutional neural network (EmbNet) for automatic pulmonary embolism detection on computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) scans and to assess its diagnostic performance.
Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms improved detection of incidental pulmonary embolism (IPE) on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) examinations in retrospective studies; however, prospective validation studies are lacking. The purpose of this study w...
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe and acute cardiovascular syndrome with high mortality among patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRDs). Accurate prediction and timely intervention play a pivotal role in enhancin...
PURPOSE: Diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) is still challenging due to other conditions that can mimic its appearance, leading to incomplete or delayed management and several inter-observer variabilities. This study evaluated the performance and cli...

Multidisciplinary pulmonary embolism response teams (PERTs) have shown that timely triage expedites treatment. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) may help improve pulmonary embolism (PE) management with early CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) screen...
BACKGROUND: Under- or late identification of pulmonary embolism (PE)-a thrombosis of 1 or more pulmonary arteries that seriously threatens patients' lives-is a major challenge confronting modern medicine.
By September 2022, more than 600 million cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been reported globally, resulting in over 6.5 million deaths. COVID-19 mortality risk estimators are often, however, developed with small unrepresentative samples and with me...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Pulmonary hypertension is a heterogeneous condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Computer tomography (CT) plays a central role in determining the phenotype of pulmonary hypertension, informing treatment strategies. Man...
