Although cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, non-invasive and inexpensive diagnostic tools for the identification of associated unstable atherosclerotic plaques are not yet available. Scanning acoustic…
Coronary angiography is considered to be a safe tool for the evaluation of coronary artery disease and perform in approximately 12 million patients each year worldwide. [1] In most cases, angiograms are manually analyzed by a cardiologist.…
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) methods - in particular, deep learning (DL) - has been on the rise lately for the analysis of different CVD-related…
Convolutional Neural Network models have successfully detected retinal illness from optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus images. These CNN models frequently rely on vast amounts of labeled data for training, difficult to obtain,…
The analysis of carotid arteries, particularly plaques, in multi-sequence Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data is crucial for assessing the risk of atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke. In order to evaluate metrics and radiomic features,…
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, mainly affecting the youngest and oldest populations. Its detection at early stages is crucial to reduce the probability of developing bone metastasis. In this context, accurate and fast…
Pulmonary Embolisms (PE) represent a leading cause of cardiovascular death. While medical imaging, through computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA), represents the gold standard for PE diagnosis, it is still susceptible to…
Stroke is the second most common cause of death in developed countries, where rapid clinical intervention can have a major impact on a patient's life. To perform the revascularization procedure, the decision making of physicians considers…
The increasing reliance on Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) for Pulmonary Embolism (PE) diagnosis presents challenges and a pressing need for improved diagnostic solutions. The primary objective of this study is to leverage…
Assessing coronary artery plaque segments in coronary CT angiography scans is an important task to improve patient management and clinical outcomes, as it can help to decide whether invasive investigation and treatment are necessary. In…
Computed Tomography (CT) is commonly used to image acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, but its interpretation by radiologists is time-consuming and subject to inter-observer variability. Deep learning (DL) techniques can provide automated…
A stroke occurs when an artery in the brain ruptures and bleeds or when the blood supply to the brain is cut off. Blood and oxygen cannot reach the brain's tissues due to the rupture or obstruction resulting in tissue death. The Middle…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by amyloid-beta plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, which serve as key histopathological features. The identification and segmentation of these lesions are crucial…
Enhancing the precision of segmenting coronary atherosclerotic plaques from CT Angiography (CTA) images is pivotal for advanced Coronary Atherosclerosis Analysis (CAA), which distinctively relies on the analysis of vessel cross-section…
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, and behavior. In this disease, there is a critical phase, mild cognitive impairment, that is really…
Coronary artery disease leading up to stenosis, the partial or total blocking of coronary arteries, is a severe condition that affects millions of patients each year. Automated identification and classification of stenosis severity from…
Background: Stroke is second-leading cause of disability and death among adults. Approximately 17 million people suffer from a stroke annually, with about 85% being ischemic strokes. Predicting mortality of ischemic stroke patients in…
The accuracy of coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis is dependent on a variety of factors, including demographic, symptom, and medical examination, ECG, and echocardiography data, among others. In this context, artificial intelligence…
Analysing coronary artery plaque segments with respect to their functional significance and therefore their influence to patient management in a non-invasive setup is an important subject of current research. In this work we compare and…
Cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) can lead to stroke and dementia. Stroke is the second leading cause of death world wide and dementia incidence is increasing by the year. There are several markers of CVD that are visible on brain imaging,…
