Towards reliable calcification detection: calibration of uncertainty in coronary optical coherence tomography images [PDF]
, 2022 Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become increasingly essential in assisting the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Image-guided solutions such as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) are extensively used during the treatment of CAD. However, unidentified calcified regions within a narrowed artery could impair the outcome of the PCI ...
