OBJECTIVES: Utilising readily available clinical variables, we aimed to develop and validate a novel machine learning (ML) model to predict severe coronary calcification, and further assessed its prognostic significance.
OBJECTIVE: This study used random forest model to explore the feasibility of radial artery calcification in prediction of coronary artery calcification in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture prediction based on sex and diameter could be improved. The goal was to assess whether aortic calcification distribution could better predict AAA rupture through machine learning and LASSO regressio...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the feasibility and limitations of deep learning-based coronary calcium scoring using positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in comparison with coronary calcium scoring using ECG-gated non-c...
OBJECTIVE: We developed and evaluated the accuracy and reliability of a convolutional neural network (CNN) in detecting external carotid artery calcifications (ECACs) in cone beam computed tomography scans.

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcification (CAC), often assessed by computed tomography (CT), is a powerful marker of coronary artery disease that can guide preventive therapies. Computed tomographies, however, are not always accessible or serially ob...

BACKGROUND: Vascular calcification (VC) constitutes subclinical vascular burden and increases cardiovascular mortality. Effective therapeutics for VC remains to be procured. We aimed to use a deep learning-based strategy to screen and uncover plant c...
Background Separate noncontrast CT to quantify the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score often precedes coronary CT angiography (CTA). Quantifying CAC scores directly at CTA would eliminate the additional radiation produced at CT but remains challengin...

In end-stage renal disease (ESRD), vascular calcification risk factors are essential for the survival of hemodialysis patients. To effectively assess the level of vascular calcification, the machine learning algorithm can be used to predict the vascu...
