Automated proximal coronary artery calcium identification using artificial intelligence: advancing cardiovascular risk assessment
The AI algorithm could identify proximal CAC on CAC CT. The proximal location had modest prognostic significance in subjects with mild CAC scores. The AI identification of proximal CAC can be integrated into automatic CAC scoring and improves the risk prediction of CAC CT.
