Abstract:

With the increasingly widespread application of artificial intelligence in the field of medical imaging, its application in coronary artery CT angiography has shown great potential, which helps to improve image quality, optimize post-processing processes, assist disease detection, evaluate functional status, analyse prognosis, and other aspects. Meanwhile, there arise some problems, and the full inspection process should be further optimized to enhance its practicality and efficiency. This article reviews the research progress, existing problems, and future development of artificial intelligence in coronary artery CT angiography.

Key words: Artificial intelligence, Deep learning, Coronary artery disease, Computed tomography, Coronary CT angiography
