Objective To explore artificial reconstruction vs artificial intelligence reconstruction in coronary artery volume rendering(VR).Methods A total of 110 coronary heart disease(CHD)patients were enrolled in the study,and underwent computed tomography arteriography.Artificial reconstruction(artificial group)and artificial intelligence reconstruction(intelligent group)were conducted in coronary artery VR.The image quality of VR and curved planar reconstruction(CPR),the diagnosis coincidence rate of arterial stenosis,and vascular reconstruction score were compared between two groups.Results The VR image quality of intelligent group was significantly higher than that of artificial group,with excellence rate of 90.91%vs 80.00%;and intelligent group scored higher than artificial group in CPR image quality(P<0.05).The differences in the diagnostic coincidence rates of arterial vessels(RCA,LAD,LCX)with no stenosis,slight stenosis,moderate stenosis,and vascular occlusion between two groups were trivial(P>0.05),while the two groups differed significantly in the diagnosis coincidence rates of mild stenosis and severe stenosis(P<0.05).The mean total score,the median value of the 3 main branches+posterior descending branch+intermediate branch+diagonal branch+blunt margin branch,and the median value of the other vascular branches were all significantly increased in intelligent group as compared with artificial group(P<0.05).Conclusion Artificial intelligence reconstruction has higher application value than artificial reconstruction in coronary artery VR.
