Machine learning predicts heart disease from CT scans

Researchers have developed a machine learning framework to predict obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) using CT scans. The model analyzes features from coronary calcium and epicardial fat, identifying 14 key predictors from an initial set of 424. This approach achieved high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, showing promise for improving clinical decisions and potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures. AI

    Machine learning prediction of obstructive coronary artery disease using opportunistic coronary calcium and epicardial fat assessments from CT calcium scoring scans

    arXiv:2605.21762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Non-contrast computed tomography calcium scoring (CTCS) is a cost-effective imaging modality widely used to detect coronary artery calcifications. This study aimed to develop an advanced machine learning framework that utilizes quan…
