Automated Analysis of Femoral Artery Calcification Using Machine Learning Techniques
We report an object tracking algorithm that combines geometrical constraints, thresholding, and motion detection for tracking of the descending aorta and the network of major arteries that branch from the aorta including the iliac and femoral arteries. Using our automated identification and analysis, arterial system was identified with more than 85% success when compared to human annotation. Furthermore, the reported automated system is capable of producing a stenosis profile, and a calcification score similar to the Agatston score. The use of stenosis and calcification profiles will lead to the development of better-informed diagnostic and prognostic tools.

Automated Measurement of Vascular Calcification in Femoral Endarterectomy Patients Using Deep Learning
Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the large arteries, presents a global health risk. Accurate analysis of diagnostic images, like computed tomographic angiograms (CTAs), is essential for staging a…
Deep LearningDiagnosticInnovative Integration of 4D Cardiovascular Reconstruction and Hologram: A New Visualization Tool for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Planning
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) planning requires advanced spatial visualization and consideration of coronary artery depth, calcification, and pericardial adhesions. Objective: To develop and evaluate…
Cardiac SegmentationAutomatic calcium scoring in low-dose chest CT using deep neural networks with dilated convolutions
Heavy smokers undergoing screening with low-dose chest CT are affected by cardiovascular disease as much as by lung cancer. Low-dose chest CT scans acquired in screening enable quantification of atherosclerotic calcifica…
Robotic Ultrasound-Guided Femoral Artery Reconstruction of Anatomically-Representative Phantoms
Femoral artery access is essential for numerous clinical procedures, including diagnostic angiography, therapeutic catheterization, and emergency interventions. Despite its critical role, successful vascular access remai…
Computed Tomography (CT)DiagnosticAutomated Coronary Calcium Scoring using U-Net Models through Semi-supervised Learning on Non-Gated CT Scans
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 calcificati…
