Automatic Segmentation of Thoracic Aorta Segments in Low-Dose Chest CT [PDF]

Medical Imaging, 2018
Morphological analysis and identification of pathologies in the aorta are important for cardiovascular diagnosis and risk assessment in patients. Manual annotation is time-consuming and cumbersome in CT scans acquired without contrast enhancement and ...

Multimodality imaging in thoracic aortic diseases: a clinical consensus statement from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging and the European Society of Cardiology working group on aorta and peripheral vascular diseases.

European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023
Imaging techniques play a pivotal role in the diagnosis, follow-up, and management of aortic diseases. Multimodality imaging provides complementary and essential information for this evaluation.

Quantifying microcalcification activity in the thoracic aorta

Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2021
Background Standard methods for quantifying positron emission tomography (PET) uptake in the aorta are time consuming and may not reflect overall vessel activity.

Deep learning enables genetic analysis of the human thoracic aorta

Nature Genetics, 2020
Enlargement or aneurysm of the aorta predisposes to dissection, an important cause of sudden death. We trained a deep learning model to evaluate the dimensions of the ascending and descending thoracic aorta in 4.6 million cardiac magnetic resonance ...

Diameter and growth rate of the thoracic aorta—analysis based on serial computed tomography scans

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2020
Background Although there are studies on the growth of thoracic aorta in the general population, research based on serial computed tomography scan is rare.

Biochemomechanics of the thoracic aorta in health and disease

Progress in Biomedical Engineering, 2020
Aneurysms and dissections of the thoracic aorta are life threatening events with poorly understood pathophysiologies which may have genetic origins. By starting with an introduction to these pathologies, we focus on the biochemomechanics of the healthy ...

Reciprocal regulation of NRF2 by autophagy and ubiquitin–proteasome modulates vascular endothelial injury induced by copper oxide nanoparticles

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
Highlights 1. CuONPs exposure activates NRF2 signaling in vascular endothelial cells and mouse thoracic aorta. 2. KEAP1 is dispensable for NRF2 activation in CuONPs-treated vascular endothelial cells. 3.

Biomechanical and biochemical properties of the thoracic aorta in warmblood horses, Friesian horses, and Friesians with aortic rupture [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Thoracic aortic rupture and aortopulmonary fistulation are rare conditions in horses. It mainly affects Friesian horses. Intrinsic differences in biomechanical properties of the aortic wall might predispose this breed.

Thoracic aorta cardiac-cycle related dynamic changes assessed with a 256-slice CT scanner [PDF]

, 2013
Objective: The aim of our study was to demonstrate whether the dynamic changes previously documented at the ascending and abdominal aorta are replicated at the thoracic aorta.
