Identification of coronary calcifications in optical coherence tomography imaging using deep learning

Abstract Coronary calcifications are an obstacle for successful percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease patients. The optimal method for delineating calcifications extent is coronary optical coherence tomography (OCT). To identify calcification on OCT and subsequently tailor the appropriat...
