Effect of Vessel Attenuation, VMI Level, and Reconstruction Kernel on Pericoronary Adipose Tissue Attenuation for EID CT and PCD CT: An Ex Vivo Porcine Heart Study
Background: Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation and fat attenuation index (FAI) may serve as markers of inflammation and risk of adverse cardiac events. However, standardization of relevant CT acquisition and reconstruction parameters is lacking.
