Abstract 

Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) is  the gold standard for diagnosing AD. However,  contrast agents can cause allergic reactions or renal failure in  some patients. Moreover, AD diagnosis by radiologists using non- contrast-enhanced CT (NCE-CT) images has poor sensitivity. To address this issue, a novel  deep learning methos was proposed  for AD detection using NCE-CT volumes.  It may have great potential to reduce the misdiagnosis of AD using NCE-CT in clinical practice.

Instructions: 

All datasets were collected from two medical centers using three vendors with kilovolt peak (KVP) of 100 ∼ 120. The datasets consisted of 207 subjects (i.e., 78 AD patients and 129 non-AD patients with other cardiovascular diseases). We sequentially performed Non-contrast enhanced CT and Contrast enhanced CT on each subject with the same scan conditions, including position, coverage, and parameters.
