The heterogeneity and complexity of coronary vasculature (structure) and myocardial flow
(function) have fractal-like characteristics and can be described by scaling laws with …

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is one of the most common long-term complications in
patients following heart transplantation. Because of its irreversible nature, early detection is …

Due to image reconstruction process of all image capturing methods, image data is
inherently affected by uncertainty. This is caused by the underlying image reconstruction …

Background Lung diseases (resulting from air pollution) require a widely accessible method
for risk estimation and early diagnosis to ensure proper and responsive treatment …

Despite the well-known design principles of vascular systems, it is unclear whether the
vascular arterial tree obeys some scaling constraints during normal growth and ageing in a …

Medical image data can be affected by several image errors. These errors can lead to
uncertain or wrong diagnosis in clinical daily routine. A large variety of image error metrics …

This book covers mechanobiology, growth, remodeling, and clinical implications of coronary
artery disease treatment. This volume presents a comprehensive overview of coronary …

Abstract As discussed in Chaps. 3, 4, and 5, growth and remodeling of coronary vasculature
are complex processes that occur during both normal physiology (exercise, pregnancy …

It is scientifically and clinically important to understand the structure-function scaling of
coronary arterial trees in compensatory (eg, left and right ventricular hypertrophy, LVH and …
