Diagnostic potential of pericoronary adipose tissue mean attenuation for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease: a comparative analysis with the fat attenuation index [PDF]

Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery
The fat attenuation index (FAI), a threshold-based method for assessing pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) density, provides strong evidence for patient-specific coronary inflammation assessment. However, the reliance on fat thresholds may result in the omission of some critical information. Thus, this study aimed to explore the diagnostic potential of

Assessing Cardiovascular Risk by Using the Fat Attenuation Index in Coronary CT Angiography

Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging, 2021
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has evolved into a first-line diagnostic test for the investigation of chest pain. Despite advances toward standardizing the reporting of CCTA through the Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (or CAD-RADS) tool, the prognostic value of CCTA in the earliest stages of atherosclerosis remains limited ...

Perivascular fat attenuation index measured by coronary computed tomography angiography as a tool for assessment of ischaemia-causing lesions: a case report

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background It can be difficult to diagnose coronary artery disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome if coronary angiography does not identify stenosis. Coronary inflammation, which can contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and

Epicardial Adipose Tissue Attenuation and Fat Attenuation Index: Phantom Study and In Vivo Measurements With Photon-Counting Detector CT [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2022
BACKGROUND. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) attenuation is a vascular inflammation marker predictive of adverse cardiac events. The fat attenuation index (FAI) assesses fat attenuation for predefined coronary segments. Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT uses routine virtual monoenergetic image (VMI) reconstructions.
