AI for Calcium Scoring

, 2021
Calcium scoring, a process in which arterial calcifications are detected and quantified in CT, is valuable in estimating the risk of cardiovascular disease events. Especially when used to quantify the extent of calcification in the coronary arteries, it is a strong and independent predictor of coronary heart disease events.

Generative models for reproducible coronary calcium scoring

Journal of Medical Imaging, 2022
Purpose: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, i.e. the amount of CAC quantified in CT, is a strong and independent predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD) events. However, CAC scoring suffers from limited interscan reproducibility, which is mainly due to the clinical definition requiring application of a fixed intensity level threshold for ...

Coronary Calcium Score and Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a highly specific feature of coronary atherosclerosis. On the basis of single-center and multicenter clinical and population-based studies with short-term and long-term outcomes data (up to 15-year follow-up), CAC scoring has emerged as a widely available, consistent, and reproducible means of assessing risk for major ...

Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring

Investigative Radiology, 2021
Objectives Although the Agatston score is a commonly used quantification method, rescan reproducibility is suboptimal, and different CT scanners result in different scores. In 2007, McCollough et al (Radiology 2007;243:527–538) proposed a standard for coronary artery calcium quantification.

Coronary artery calcium score: we know where we are but not where we may be

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2023
Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a cost-effective and time-saving technique for excluding coronary artery disease. One valuable tool obtained by CCTA is the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score.

Predicting Mortality in African Americans With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor, Coronary Artery Calcium, and High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, outcomes in individual patients vary. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a bone marrow–derived signaling molecule associated with ...

Leveraging the coronary calcium scan beyond the coronary calcium score [PDF]

European Radiology, 2018
Non-contrast cardiac computed tomography in order to obtain the coronary artery calcium score has become an established diagnostic procedure in the clinical setting, and is commonly employed in clinical and population-based research. This state-of-the-art review paper highlights the potential gain in information that can be obtained from the non ...

The role and diagnostic value of assessing the degree of coronary arteries calcification for predicting the severity of coronary heart disease

Patologìâ, 2021
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading mortality causes. According to the latest guidelines, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is one of the main non-invasive methods for diagnosis of CHD, which allows for quantification of ...
