Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are abnormal dilations of cerebral blood vessels that, if ruptured, can lead to life-threatening consequences. However, their small size and soft contrast in radiological scans often make it difficult to perform…

This article presents a dataset used in the article "Kinematics of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms", published in the Journal of Biomechanics. The dataset is publicly available for download from the Zenodo data repository…

Existing methods to reconstruct vascular structures from a computed tomography (CT) angiogram rely on injection of intravenous contrast to enhance the radio-density within the vessel lumen. However, pathological changes can be present in…

A search in Scopus within "Article title, Abstract, Keywords" unveils 2,444 documents focused on the biomechanics of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), mostly on AAA wall stress. Only 24 documents investigated AAA kinematics, an important…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebral aneurysm is one of the most common cerebrovascular diseases, and SAH caused by its rupture has a very high mortality and disability rate. Existing automatic segmentation methods based on DLMs with TOF-MRA…

The two most important aneurysm types are cerebral aneurysms (CA) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), accounting together for over 80\% of all fatal aneurysm incidences. To minimise aneurysm related deaths, clinicians require various…

The aortic vessel tree is composed of the aorta and its branching arteries, and plays a key role in supplying the whole body with blood. Aortic diseases, like aneurysms or dissections, can lead to an aortic rupture, whose treatment with…

We propose a deep learning-based automatic coronary artery tree centerline tracker (AuCoTrack) extending the vessel tracker by Wolterink (arXiv:1810.03143). A dual pathway Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) operating on multi-scale 3D…

Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are generally asymptomatic and thus often discovered incidentally on angiographic scans like 3D DSA, CTA and MRA. Skilled radiologists achieved a sensitivity of 88% by means of visual detection, which seems…

Clinical decisions for unruptured intracranial aneurysms depend on detecting growth on follow-up magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Growth is typically judged from manual 2D diameters on few slices, which vary across clinicians and…

Accurate segmentation of aortic dissection (AD) lumens in CT angiography (CTA) is essential for quantitative morphological assessment and clinical decision-making. However, reliable 3D delineation remains challenging due to limited…

The current standard of intra-operative navigation during Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Repair (FEVAR) calls for need of 3D alignments between inserted devices and aortic branches. The navigation commonly via 2D fluoroscopic images, lacks…

This study leverages convolutional neural networks to enhance the temporal resolution of 3D angiography in intracranial aneurysms focusing on the reconstruction of volumetric contrast data from sparse and limited projections. Three…

Vessel stenosis is a major risk factor in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). To analyze the degree of vessel stenosis for supporting the treatment management, extraction of coronary artery area from Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA) is…

Aortic aneurysm disease ranks consistently in the top 20 causes of death in the U.S. population. Thoracic aortic aneurysm is manifested as an abnormal bulging of thoracic aortic wall and it is a leading cause of death in adults. From the…

Medicine is an important application area for deep learning models. Research in this field is a combination of medical expertise and data science knowledge. In this paper, instead of 2D medical images, we introduce an open-access 3D…

Automatic segmentation of myocardial contours and relevant areas like infraction and no-reflow is an important step for the quantitative evaluation of myocardial infarction. In this work, we propose a cascaded convolutional neural network…

Over 30 papers have proposed to use convolutional neural network (CNN) for AD classification from anatomical MRI. However, the classification performance is difficult to compare across studies due to variations in components such as…

Purpose: To develop CADIA, a supervised deep learning model based on a region proposal network coupled with a false-positive reduction module for the detection and localization of intracranial aneurysms (IA) from computed tomography…

Background and Purpose: Our purpose was to develop a deep learning angiography (DLA) method to generate 3D cerebral angiograms from a single contrast-enhanced acquisition. Material and Methods: Under an approved IRB protocol 105 3D-DSA…
