Coronary artery disease stands as one of the primary contributors to global mortality rates. The automated identification of coronary artery stenosis from X-ray images plays a critical role in the diagnostic process for coronary heart…

In the era of digital medicine, medical imaging serves as a widespread technique for early disease detection, with a substantial volume of images being generated and stored daily in electronic patient records. X-ray angiography imaging is a…

Automatic identification of proper image frames at the end-diastolic (ED) and end-systolic (ES) frames during the review of invasive coronary angiograms (ICA) is important to assess blood flow during a cardiac cycle, reconstruct the 3D…

In today's world, a massive amount of data is available in almost every sector. This data has become an asset as we can use this enormous amount of data to find information. Mainly health care industry contains many data consisting of…

Coronary angiography is the gold standard imaging technique for studying and diagnosing coronary artery disease. However, the resulting 2D X-ray projections lose 3D information and exhibit visual ambiguities. In this work, we aim to…

Intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography are widely available for characterizing coronary stenoses and provide critical vessel parameters to optimize percutaneous intervention. Intravascular polarization-sensitive optical…

Breast cancer is considered as one of a major health problem that constitutes the strongest cause behind mortality among women in the world. So, in this decade, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer, in term of appearance…

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the functional significance of coronary stenosis by analyzing low-level radiomic features of the pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) surrounding the lesions, which are indicative of its inflammation…

Coronary Heart Disease affects millions of people worldwide and is a well-studied area of healthcare. There are many viable and accurate methods for the diagnosis and prediction of heart disease, but they have limiting points such as…
