OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate if lesion-specific ischaemia by invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) can be predicted by an integrated machine learning (ML) ischaemia risk score from quantitative plaque measures from coronary computed tomograph...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of deep learning-based image conversion on the accuracy of automated coronary artery calcium quantification using thin-slice, sharp-kernel, non-gated, low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) images collected from m...
BACKGROUND: The molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying vascular calcification remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the differences in calcification marker-related gene expression in macrophages.

PURPOSE: Identifying and quantifying coronary artery calcification (CAC) is crucial for preoperative planning, as it helps to estimate both the complexity of the 2D coronary angiography (2DCA) procedure and the risk of developing intraoperative compl...
AIMS: This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic implications of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool for coronary artery calcification (CAC) assessment on nongated, noncontrast thoracic computed tomography (CT).
Machine learning algorithms that integrate multiple biomarkers are increasingly used in disease detection, yet economic considerations are often overlooked. Medial vascular calcification (mVC), a pathology associated with elevated cardiovascular risk...
BACKGROUND: Carotid artery calcifications are important markers of cardiovascular health, often associated with atherosclerosis and a higher risk of stroke. Recent research shows that dental radiographs can help identify these calcifications, allowin...
Identifying systemic disease with medical imaging studies may improve population health outcomes. Although the pathogenesis of peripheral arterial calcification and coronary artery calcification differ, breast arterial calcification (BAC) on mammogra...
To evaluate deep learning-based calcium segmentation and quantification on ECG-gated cardiac CT scans compared with manual evaluation. Automated calcium quantification was performed using a neural network based on mask regions with convolutional neur...
