Quantification of Coronary Inflammation Using Fat Attenuation Index (FAI) in Indians: A Retrospective Study [PDF]

Cardiology and Cardiovascular Research, 2021
Background: Asian Indians have the highest prevalence (11%) of coronary artery risk worldwide compared to all other races. So far no quantifiable risk factor has been shown to explain such a high prevalence. Fat attenuation index (FAI) using CT coronary angiography (CTCA) has been recently used to demonstrate coronary perivascular inflammation and to ...

Modelling of the Terahertz Communication Channel for In-vivo Nano-networks in the Presence of Noise [PDF]

, 2016
This paper focuses on the modelling of communication channel noise inside human tissues at the THz band (0.1-10THz). A novel model is put forward based on the study of the physical mechanism of the channel noise in the medium, which takes into account ...

Correlation between liver fat content with dyslipidemia and Insulin resistance

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013
Total 33 obese patients were studied to determine correlation in between liver fat content with dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Liver and spleen attenuation measurements were taken with three regions of interests (ROIs) from the liver and two ROIs ...

Regional Differences in the Level of Inflammation Between the Right and Left Coronary Arteries – a Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Study of Epicardial Fat Attenuation Index in Four Scenarios of Cardiovascular Emergencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2023
The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) is an emerging computed tomography-derived marker for measuring vascular inflammation at coronary vessels. It holds prognostic significance for major cardiovascular events and enhances cardiac risk assessment,

Associations between the serum triglyceride-glucose index and pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and plaque features using dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography: a cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Background and aimsThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable alternative marker for insulin resistance (IR). Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) can indirectly reflect coronary inflammation.

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

Quant Imaging Med Surg
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

Effect of Deep Learning Image Reconstruction on Image Quality and Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index. [PDF]

J Imaging Inform Med
To compare the image quality and fat attenuation index (FAI) of coronary artery CT angiography (CCTA) under different tube voltages between deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction V (ASIR-V). Three hundred one patients who underwent CCTA with automatic tube current modulation were prospectively ...
