In conclusion, cardiac CTA is being evaluated for use in the diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis or for the evaluation of acute chest pain. Although several studies have assessed diagnostic accuracy ...

Non-invasive coronary CT angiography (CTA) is more cost-effective than current tests for diagnosing women with low risk of a heart attack who come to the emergency room with acute chest pain, ...

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to aid clinical decision making in identifying and managing myocardial infarction (MI; heart attack) in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with ...

A new study showed that a non-invasive imaging test can help identify patients with coronary artery blockage or narrowing who need a revascularization procedure. The findings were published as a ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has stubbornly remained the leading cause of death in the world for over three decades. Many of these deaths are caused by coronary artery disease (CAD), and roughly 21 ...

The heart pumps blood around the body. If the heart does not work as it should, a person may need to undergo a heart procedure as part of their treatment. Some heart conditions are manageable with ...

The author proposes Ves-GAN, a novel unsupervised vessel-targeted denoising framework based on the architecture of Cycle-GAN. Ves-GAN achieves global denoising of LDCTA images while selectively ...
