Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

1
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

1
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Cardiovascular Disease

Background:

  • Carotid artery plaque vulnerability is a key factor in stroke risk.
  • Accurate assessment of plaque stability is crucial for timely intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a radiomics model for assessing carotid artery plaque vulnerability.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the radiomics model, alone and combined with clinical parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 107 patients with carotid artery stenosis.
  • Extraction and reduction of radiomics features from computed tomography angiography images using LASSO.
  • Construction of a radiomics model and evaluation of its accuracy with decision curve analysis.

Main Results:

  • The radiomics model achieved high accuracy (AUC 0.959 training, 0.942 testing) in identifying vulnerable plaques.
  • Combining the radiomics model with stenosis degree significantly improved diagnostic efficacy (AUC 0.985 training, 0.961 testing).
  • The combined model demonstrated superior clinical utility compared to models using only radiomics or clinical data.

Conclusions:

  • A radiomics model incorporating stenosis degree is a promising tool for differentiating vulnerable from stable carotid artery plaques.
  • This approach offers enhanced diagnostic accuracy and clinical benefit for stroke risk assessment.
