The Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index Improves the Diagnostic Performance for Functional Coronary Stenosis

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an established first-line test in the investigation of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), while the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) derived from CT seems to be a ...

Fat Attenuation Index of Renal Cell Carcinoma Reveals Biological Characteristics and Survival Outcome

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
PurposeThe computed tomography fat attenuation index (FAI) is an ideal quantifiable imaging factor to identify the inflammation degree of peri-tumor adipose tissue. We aimed to verify whether FAI could reflect peri-tumor adipose inflammation, predict the

The Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index: Bridging Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease Risk [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading global cause of mortality, with inflammation now recognized as a central driver of atherosclerosis and other cardiometabolic conditions. Recent advances have repositioned perivascular adipose tissue from a passive structural element to an active endocrine and immunomodulatory organ, now a key focus in ...

Prognostic Value of Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index on Computed Tomography for Hospitalization for Heart Failure [PDF]

JACC: Advances
Pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) assessed on computed tomography is associated with the inflammation of the pericoronary artery.This study aimed to investigate whether pericoronary FAI predicts hospitalization for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).This retrospective single-center study included 1,196 consecutive patients ...

Impact of Glycemic Control on Coronary Inflammation Evaluated by Computed Tomography Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome [PDF]

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: Coronary inflammation causes significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic patients. This study investigated the relationship between coronary local inflammation, detected by pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI),

Predictive value of the perivascular fat attenuation index for MACE in young people suspected of CAD [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Objective The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) evaluated by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has been reported to have strong prognostic value, but few studies have focused on young people.

Role of Pancreatic Attenuation Index in Assessing Pancreatic Fat Content and Postpancreatectomy Outcomes

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2023
Background High fat content of pancreas can contribute to its soft texture, which is a strong predictor for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). We propose to assess the relationship of pancreatic computed tomography (CT) attenuation index

Utilization of aorta-specific fat attenuation index in evaluating disease activity and inflammation in Takayasu arteritis [PDF]

Insights into Imaging
Objectives Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare vasculitis impacting the aorta and its branches in young people, leading to severe health issues and early death. Accurate assessment of disease activity is crucial for treatment.
