Article Synopsis
- A new study aimed to automatically quantify coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores from coronary CT angiography (CTA) scans, which could reduce extra radiation exposure from separate scans.
- Researchers developed a deep learning algorithm using data from 292 training patients and validated it with 240 independent scans to ensure accuracy compared to traditional noncontrast CT methods.
- The results showed an excellent correlation between the automatic CAC scoring from CTA and the traditional method, with 93% of scans categorized correctly in terms of cardiovascular risk.
