Accurate anatomical labeling of intracranial arteries is essential for cerebrovascular diagnosis and hemodynamic analysis but remains time-consuming and subject to interoperator variability. We present a deep learning-based framework for…
Every year, thousands of innocent people die due to heart attacks. Often undiagnosed heart attacks can hit people by surprise since many current medical plans don't cover the costs to require the searching of calcification on these scans.…
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular-related mortality, and accurate stenosis detection is crucial for effective clinical decision-making. Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosing CAD, but…
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death globally and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is considered the gold standard of anatomical imaging evaluation when CAD is suspected. However, risk evaluation based on ICA…
Coronary Artery Diseases (CADs) although preventable, are one of the leading causes of death and disability. Diagnosis of these diseases is often difficult and resource intensive. Angiographic imaging segmentation of the arteries has…
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…
Rapid infarct assessment on non-contrast CT (NCCT) is essential for acute ischemic stroke management. Most deep learning methods perform pixel-wise segmentation without modeling the structured anatomical reasoning underlying ASPECTS…
