Incidental Finding of Coronary and Non-Coronary Artery Calcium: What Do Clinicians Need To Know?

Current atherosclerosis reports
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...

Prediction of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Success in Patients With Moderate to Severe Coronary Artery Calcification Using Machine Learning Based on Coronary Angiography: Prospective Cohort Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
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.

Leveraging pulse wave signal properties for coronary artery calcification screening in CKD patients.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are particularly susceptible to coronary atherosclerosis, which can be assessed using computed tomography (CT)-based coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. However, such a costly examination mi...

Artificial Intelligence in CT Angiography for the Detection of Coronary Artery Stenosis and Calcified Plaque: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Academic radiology
PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting coronary artery stenosis and calcified plaque on CT angiography (CTA), comparing its diagnostic performance with that of radiologists.

TQGDNet: Coronary artery calcium deposit detection on computed tomography.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to be a leading global cause of cardiovascular related mortality. The scoring of coronary artery calcium (CAC) using computer tomography (CT) images is a diagnostic instrument for evaluating the risk of asympto...

Segmentation of coronary artery and calcification using prior knowledge based deep learning framework.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used to screen for coronary artery calcification. As the coronary artery has complicated structure and tiny lumen, manual screening is a time-consuming task. Recently, many deep learning methods ha...
