BACKGROUND: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is widely used as a first-line tool for diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease (CAD), and machine learning (ML)-based analysis shows promise for quantitative CAD assessment.
The importance of vascular calcification in major adverse cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes has been established. However, calcifications have heterogeneous phenotypes, and their influence on diseased tissue stability remains poo...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning (DL) models can quantify coronary artery calcification using non-gated chest CT scans. However, the prognostic value of a DL-based coronary artery calcium score (DL-CACS) for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (M...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) represents a major cardiovascular risk in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis. Given that radial artery pulse waveforms can reflect vascular status, this study aimed to ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-based coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) on non-electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated chest CT, using manual quantification as the reference standard, while characterizing per-vessel re...
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world, with coronary artery disease being the most prevalent. Coronary artery calcifications are critical biomarkers for cardiovascular disease, and their quantification via non-contrast c...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes the role of incidentally and non-incidentally discovered coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the evolving role of non-coronary artery calcification in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk a...
BACKGROUND: Given the challenges faced during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for heavily calcified lesions, accurately predicting PCI success is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes and optimizing procedural strategies.
PURPOSE: The clinical implications of coronary artery calcification (CAC) growth remain underexplored. This study aims to assess CAC growth and its association with adverse cardiovascular events (ACEs) in individuals undergoing lung cancer screening ...
BACKGROUND: Breast arterial calcification (BAC) is increasingly recognized as a significant indicator of cardiovascular risk, necessitating improvements in detection and quantification methods through mammographic screening.
