Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of mortality in the world. Early detection and treatment of CHD are crucial. Currently, coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has been the prior choice for CHD screening and diagnosis, but it cannot meet the clinical needs in terms of examination quality, the accuracy of reporting, and the accuracy of prognosis analysis. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has developed rapidly in the field of medicine; it played a key role in auxiliary diagnosis, disease mechanism analysis, and prognosis assessment, including a series of studies related to CHD. In this article, the application and research status of AI in CCTA were summarized and the prospects of this field were also described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
