Deep transfer learning for detection of breast arterial calcifications on mammograms: a comparative study.

European radiology experimental
INTRODUCTION: Breast arterial calcifications (BAC) are common incidental findings on routine mammograms, which have been suggested as a sex-specific biomarker of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Previous work showed the efficacy of a pretrained con...

CACSNet for automatic robust classification and segmentation of carotid artery calcification on panoramic radiographs using a cascaded deep learning network.

Scientific reports
Stroke is one of the major causes of death worldwide, and is closely associated with atherosclerosis of the carotid artery. Panoramic radiographs (PRs) are routinely used in dental practice, and can be used to visualize carotid artery calcification (...

Coronary Artery Calcification on Low-Dose Lung Cancer Screening CT in South Korea: Visual and Artificial Intelligence-Based Assessment and Association With Cardiovascular Events.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) on lung cancer screening low-dose chest CT (LDCT) is a cardiovascular risk marker. South Korea was the first Asian country to initiate a national LDCT lung cancer screening program, although CAC-related outcomes a...

Development and Validation of Artificial Intelligence-Based Algorithms for Predicting the Segments Debulked by Rotational Atherectomy Using Intravascular Ultrasound Images.

The American journal of cardiology
We develop and evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm that uses pre-rotation atherectomy (RA) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images to automatically predict regions debulked by RA. A total of 2106 IVUS cross-sections from 60 patien...

Artificial intelligence in coronary artery calcium score: rationale, different approaches, and outcomes.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Almost 35 years after its introduction, coronary artery calcium score (CACS) not only survived technological advances but became one of the cornerstones of contemporary cardiovascular imaging. Its simplicity and quantitative nature established it as ...

Influence of Deep Learning Based Image Reconstruction on Quantitative Results of Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of deep learning-based imaging reconstruction (DLIR) on quantitative results of coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and to evaluate the potential of DLIR for radiation dose reduction in CACS.

Cross-sectional angle prediction of lipid-rich and calcified tissue on computed tomography angiography images.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The assessment of vulnerable plaque characteristics and distribution is important to stratify cardiovascular risk in a patient. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) offers a promising alternative to invasive imaging but is limited by the fa...
