Coronary artery calcification (CAC) accompanies the development of advanced
atherosclerosis. Its role in atherosclerosis holds great interest because the presence and …

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) allows distinguishing between tissues with
similar X-ray attenuation but different atomic numbers. Recent studies demonstrated that this …

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) imaging has become an important part of modern
cardiovascular care. Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is the first choice imaging modality for …

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with the apolipoprotein E (APOE)
gene and lipid metabolism. This study aimed to develop an imaging-based pipeline to …

With the advent of multidetector computed tomography (CT), CT angiography (CTA) has
gained widespread popularity for noninvasive imaging of the arterial vasculature. Peripheral …

The past two decades have witnessed rapid and remarkable technical improvement of
multidetector computed tomography (CT) in both image quality and diagnostic accuracy …

Vascular calcification, a common pathological phenomenon in atherosclerosis, diabetes,
