This study presents a deep learning-based approach to improve the prediction of coronary artery disease (CAD) using X-ray angiography images. The primary objective is to achieve accurate and automated CAD identification by employing a convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The methodology involves preprocessing the dataset through normalization and augmentation techniques and utilizes a U-Net architecture for precise detection of coronary stenosis. To ensure robustness and generalizability, hyperparameter tuning and dropout regularisation are applied during model training. The proposed model achieves high performance, with an average Dice coefficient of 0.57 and a Jaccard Index of 0.47 on a held-out test set, indicating its effectiveness in segmenting coronary artery stenosis. These findings support the integration of deep learning methods into clinical workflows for enhanced CAD diagnosis and early intervention.
