Self-supervised deep learning model for coronary artery segmentation from invasive X-ray coronary angiography (ICA), designed to reduce reliance on large annotated datasets. CM-UNet combines a Contrastive Masked Autoencoder (CMAE) with a UNet backbone: an online encoder-decoder branch reconstructs masked image patches while a momentum branch produces contrastive embeddings, jointly pretraining the network on unannotated angiography images before fine-tuning on a small labeled set. Fine-tuning with only 18 annotated images (instead of 500) led to just a 15.2% drop in Dice score, versus a 46.5% drop for baseline models trained without this self-supervised pretraining -- demonstrating strong label efficiency for coronary segmentation.

Domain-Shuffle Temporal Attention Network for coronary vessel extraction from X-ray coronary angiography (XCA), trained entirely on synthetic temporal XCA data without requiring manual vessel annotations. By leveraging synthetic data generation and a domain-shuffle temporal attention mechanism, DOSTA-Net avoids the need for costly expert-labeled real angiography sequences while still learning temporally consistent vessel segmentation across frames of an XCA sequence.

Transformer-based multi-view multiple-instance learning (MIL) framework for patient-level coronary stenosis classification from multi-view invasive coronary angiography. Rather than requiring expensive view-level stenosis annotations, SegmentMIL is trained end-to-end on real-world clinical data using only patient-level labels already present in hospital systems, and jointly predicts stenosis presence while localizing the affected artery (left/right) and segment. It captures temporal dynamics and dependencies across the multiple angiographic views per patient (which prior view-level models ignore), and outperforms both single-view models and classical MIL baselines on internal and external clinical evaluations.

Open-source, user-guided deep learning tool for coronary artery segmentation from invasive coronary angiography (ICA), designed to improve on traditional quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) edge-detection algorithms that typically require manual correction. Rather than segmenting the whole coronary tree indiscriminately, AngioPy lets the user click a handful of ground-truth points along a specific target vessel (including side branches), and predicts a binary mask for that single artery at the chosen cardiac-cycle time-step. Evaluated against an established QCA system on angiograms from the FAME 2 trial, AngioPy achieved an average F1 score of 0.927 (internal) and 0.924 (external validation), with vessel-diameter and lesion minimal-lumen-diameter measurements showing excellent agreement with QCA (r=0.93-0.96).

Self-supervised model that performs single-frame digital-subtraction-angiography-style vessel/background separation directly from a single live (non-subtracted) coronary angiogram frame, then supports fine-tuned coronary vessel segmentation. A U-Net-style network is pretrained via an image-to-image translation objective on 58,128 unannotated angiography DICOM series (3,756 patients), then fine-tuned for vessel segmentation on just 40 expert-annotated frames, reaching a Dice of 0.828 on the held-out fine-tuning set and a new state-of-the-art Dice of 0.755 on the public XCAD benchmark. Intended to help clinicians visualize potential stenosis sites without requiring true two-frame digital subtraction acquisition.

nnU-Net-based segmentation network that detects and delineates stenotic lesions directly from X-ray coronary angiography frames, developed for the ARCADE (MICCAI 2023) stenosis-detection challenge. A companion model (YOLO-Angio, same team) handles vessel-tree segmentation; StenUNet focuses specifically on pixel-wise localization of stenotic regions. Placed 3rd overall among ARCADE challenge entrants with an F1 score of 0.5348 on the hold-out test set, within 0.0005 of the 2nd-place team.

Multi-view foundation model for coronary angiography trained with video-text contrastive learning on 203,808 angiography videos from 28,117 patients across 32,473 studies at the Montreal Heart Institute, externally validated on 4,249 studies from UCSF. Integrates multiple angiographic projections with attention-based pooling for study-level assessment spanning diagnostic, prognostic, and disease-progression tasks: significant-stenosis detection (AUROC 0.888 internal / 0.89 external), stenosis-percentage estimation (MAE 13.6% vs. 19.0% for clinical reports), chronic total occlusion, intracoronary thrombus, and coronary calcification detection. Transfer learning further enables one-year MACE prediction (AUROC 0.79) and LVEF estimation (MAE 7.3%) from the same angiography embeddings, with a mean in-hospital inference time of 4.2 seconds.

AI-driven pipeline for quantitative coronary-stenosis assessment from routine DICOM coronary angiography videos, combining vessel tracking with a video Swin3D transformer trained and validated on 182,418 angiography videos spanning 5 years at the Montreal Heart Institute. Achieves a mean absolute error of 20.15% and a classification AUROC of 0.8294 for stenosis-percentage prediction against cardiologist assessment, with lower inter-rater variability than two expert interventional cardiologists, and can be fine-tuned to quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) data for even lower error (MAE 7.75%).

Open-weight video-based deep neural network that predicts reduced right-ventricular systolic function (RVSF) directly from routine left and right coronary angiogram videos, enabling real-time RV-dysfunction screening in the catheterization lab when echocardiography is unavailable. Built on an X3D-M spatiotemporal video architecture (Kinetics-400 pretrained) that aggregates per-video probabilities into a study-level normal-vs-reduced RVSF classification, with Grad-CAM/Guided-Backpropagation explainability confirming attention to RV-specific coronary motion rather than left-ventricular signal. Trained on 8,053 angiographic studies from 6,923 Montreal Heart Institute patients (2017-2023), externally validated at UCSF, and prospectively deployed at MHI via the PACS-AI platform, where AI assistance improved reader accuracy from 72.1% to 77.6% for cardiologists and 43.5% to 64.0% for medical students.

Segments coronary vessels from invasive X-ray angiography images and automatically quantifies the degree of stenosis along the extracted centerlines. Combines MedSAM, a Segment-Anything-style vision model, with a Mamba-based VM-UNet segmentation branch for efficient long-range feature modeling. Trained and evaluated on the ARCADE, DCA1, and GH angiography datasets by researchers at Ocean University of China and Shandong University.
