AbstractA fully automatic two-dimensional Unet model is proposed to segment aorta and coronary arteries in computed tomography images. Two models are trained to segment two regions of interest, (1) the aorta and the coronary arteries or (2) the coronary arteries alone. Our method achieves 91.20% and 88.80% dice similarity coefficient accuracy on regions of interest 1 and 2 respectively. Compared with a semi-automatic segmentation method, our model performs better when segmenting the coronary arteries alone. The performance of the proposed method is comparable to existing published two-dimensional or three-dimensional deep learning models. Furthermore, the algorithmic and graphical processing unit memory efficiencies are maintained such that the model can be deployed within hospital computer networks where graphical processing units are typically not available.

The aim of this study was to investigate the multiscale surface roughness characteristics of coronary arteries, to aid in the development of novel biomaterials and bioinspired medical devices. Porcine left anterior descending coronary arteries were dissected ex vivo , and specimens were chemically fixed and dehydrated for testing. Surface roughness was calculated from three-dimensional reconstructed surface images obtained by optical, scanning electron and atomic force microscopy, ranging in magnification from 10× to 5500×. Circumferential surface roughness decreased with magnification, and microscopy type was found to influence surface roughness values. Longitudinal surface roughness was not affected by magnification or microscopy types within the parameters of this study. This study found that coronary arteries exhibit multiscale characteristics. It also highlights the importance of ensuring consistent microscopy parameters to provide comparable surface roughness values.
