3D Coronary Vessel Reconstruction from Bi-Plane Angiography using Graph Convolutional Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) is used to assess coronary artery disease and provides valuable information on lesion morphology and severity. However, XCA images are 2D and therefore limit visualisation of the vessel. 3D reconstruction of coronary vessels is possible using multiple views, however lumen border detection in current software is ...

Partial Vessels Annotation-based Coronary Artery Segmentation with Self-training and Prototype Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Coronary artery segmentation on coronary-computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images is crucial for clinical use. Due to the expertise-required and labor-intensive annotation process, there is a growing demand for the relevant label-efficient learning algorithms.

Robust PCA Unrolling Network for Super-resolution Vessel Extraction in X-ray Coronary Angiography [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Although robust PCA has been increasingly adopted to extract vessels from X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) images, challenging problems such as inefficient vessel-sparsity modelling, noisy and dynamic background artefacts, and high computational cost still remain unsolved.

Coronary Circulation and Hemodynamics [PDF]
, 2017 Coronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the blood vessels of the heart muscle (myocardium). The vessels that deliver oxygenrich blood to the myocardium are known as coronary arteries.

Extraction of Coronary Vessels in Fluoroscopic X-Ray Sequences Using Vessel Correspondence Optimization [PDF]
, 2022 We present a method to extract coronary vessels from fluoroscopic x-ray sequences. Given the vessel structure for the source frame, vessel correspondence candidates in the subsequent frame are generated by a novel hierarchical search scheme to overcome the aperture problem.
