Diagnostic Performance of AI-enabled Plaque Quantification from Coronary CT Angiography Compared with Intravascular Ultrasound.
Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging
December 2024
From the Department of Cardiology, Fiona Stanley Hospital, Perth, Australia (A.R.I.); Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, Curtin Medical School, Curtin University, 11 Robin Warren Dr, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia (A.R.I.); Department of Radiology, St Paul's Hospital, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada (G.T.); HeartFlow Inc, Mountain View, Calif (K.P., N.N., S.M.); Cardiovascular Research Foundation, Columbia University, New York, NY (A.M.); and Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, William Beaumont University Hospital-Corewell Health East, Royal Oak, Mich (R.D.S.).
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of an AI tool (AI-QCPA) used in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for measuring plaque volume compared to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
- Analysis involved 33 patients who had serious heart attacks, with various imaging techniques performed on their coronary vessels shortly after treatment.
- Results showed strong correlations between AI-QCPA and IVUS measurements, although the AI tool tended to slightly underestimate total and calcified plaque volumes while overestimating noncalcified plaque.
Readability and Writing Quality in Radiation Oncology Journal Articles from 2004 to 2024.

William Beaumont University Hospital - Corewell Health East, Royal Oak, Michigan.
Purpose: Scientific literature is a vital tool that we rely on to communicate the findings of our studies; however, we rarely direct our study to the writing itself.
Methods And Materials: Here, we make use of modern natural language processing algorithms coupled with the large, open access PubMed Central corpus to analyze trends in writing complexity within the field of radiation oncology from 2004 to 2024. Changes in 1) required grade level to comprehend, 2) lexical complexity, and 3) information content were assessed.
Impact of Defibrillator Electrode Placement on Outcome of Electrical Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation: A Pilot Observational Study.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, William Beaumont University Hospital Corewell Health East Royal Oak MI USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between electrode positioning and success rates in electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.
- It finds that patients requiring a single low-energy shock (100 J) for successful cardioversion had electrodes placed closer to the heart compared to those needing multiple shocks.
- The research suggests that using the xiphoid process as a landmark could help improve electrode placement and increase successful cardioversion rates.
Late Outcomes of Patients in the Emergency Department With Acute Chest Pain Evaluated With Computed Tomography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve.
Am J Cardiol
September 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, William Beaumont University Hospital-Corewell Health East, Royal Oak, Michigan. Electronic address:
Computed tomography (CTA)-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) guides the need for invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Late outcomes after FFR are reported in stable ischemic heart disease but not in acute chest pain in the emergency department (ACP-ED). The objectives are to assess the risk of death, myocardial infarction (MI), revascularization, and ICA after FFR.

National Veterinary Services Laboratories, US Department of Agriculture, Ames, Iowa, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A unique enzootic focus of Mycobacterium bovis in free-ranging deer was identified in Michigan, leading to human cases linked to these deer between 1994 and 2022; four new cases were confirmed using genomic epidemiology.
- Genetic analysis showed a close connection between human and animal strains, with some cases having minimal genetic differences from deer and cattle isolates.
- Ongoing transmission of M. bovis from deer to humans and cattle poses a public health risk, prompting the need for future studies and a One Health approach to tackle TB transmission effectively.
Diagnostic Performance of Diastolic Hyperemia-Free Ratio Compared With Invasive Fractional Flow Reserve for Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease.
Am J Cardiol
March 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, William Beaumont University Hospital-Corewell Health East, Royal Oak, Michigan. Electronic address:
Hyperemic and nonhyperemic pressure ratios are frequently used to assess the hemodynamic significance of coronary artery disease and to guide the need for myocardial revascularization. However, there are limited data on the diagnostic performance of the diastolic hyperemia-free ratio (DFR). We evaluated the diagnostic performance of the DFR compared with invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR).
