Radiomics – seeing deeper into CCT plaque? Radiomics-based precision phenotyping of coronary plaque morphology improved prediction (c-statistic 0.7 to 0.74) of #cvMI by #YesCCT over & above clinical factors & plaque burden in the SCOT-HEART trial. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcmg.… #JACCIMG

Higher density, lower risk #cvCAD plaque? Higher #CAC density confers a lower risk of future #CVD events with a ~20% lower risk for each standard deviation increase in density in this systemic review and meta-analysis jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcmg.… #YesCCT #JACCIMG @DrAndrewLin

Can #radiomic phenotypes help improve MACE prediction beyond plaque burden? Does plaque morphology play a role in long-term outcomes? Long-term SCOT-HEART analysis 👇@DrAndrewLin @damini_dey @imagingmedsci jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcmg.…

Dr Andrew Lin (@DrAndrewLin) from @MonashUni showing that inflammation inhibits local adipogenesis in pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) and this can be detected by AI-driven🤖algorithms on #YesCCT as an increase in CT attenuation of PCAT which improves prognosis #SCCT2023

An AI-based tool can rapidly and accurately measure plaque volume and stenosis severity from coronary CTA images in patients w/ stable chest pain, according to new data. It also has the potential to better predict future MIs. tctmd.com/news/deep-learning… @damini_dey @toddvillinesmd
