Coronary artery diseases are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Timely and accurate diagnosis, facilitated by precise coronary artery segmentation, is pivotal in changing patient outcomes. In the realm of biomedical imaging,…
Background. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a powerful predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Traditional Agatston score simply sums the calcium, albeit in a non-linear way, leaving room for improved calcification…
One of the most contentious areas of research in Medical Image Preprocessing is 3D CT-scan. With the rapid spread of COVID-19, the function of CT-scan in properly and swiftly diagnosing the disease has become critical. It has a positive…
With coronary artery disease (CAD) persisting to be one of the leading causes of death worldwide, interest in supporting physicians with algorithms to speed up and improve diagnosis is high. In clinical practice, the severeness of CAD is…
Chest radiographs are primarily employed for the screening of pulmonary and cardio-/thoracic conditions. Being undertaken at primary healthcare centers, they require the presence of an on-premise reporting Radiologist, which is a challenge…
Chest X-ray imaging remains the primary diagnostic tool for pulmonary and cardiac disorders worldwide, yet its accuracy is hampered by radiologist shortages and inter-observer variability. This study presents a systematic comparative…
3D CT-scan base on chest is one of the controversial topisc of the researcher nowadays. There are many tasks to diagnose the disease through CT-scan images, include Covid19. In this paper, we propose a method that custom and combine Deep…
Background: Increased pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with many types of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although cardiac magnetic resonance images (CMRI) are often acquired in patients with CVD, there are currently no tools to…
Accurate segmentation of anatomical structures in chest radiographs is essential for many computer-aided diagnosis tasks. In this paper we investigate the latest fully-convolutional architectures for the task of multi-class segmentation of…
Coronary angiography is the "gold standard" for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). At present, the methods for detecting and evaluating coronary artery stenosis cannot satisfy the clinical needs, e.g., there is no prior study of…
