Automated coronary calcium detection and scoring on multicenter, multiprotocol noncontrast CT
Coronary artery plaques were accurately detected and segmented using the proposed nnU-Net-based method on noncontrast CT scans. The Agatston-score-based plaque burden assessment facilitates cardiovascular risk stratification, enabling opportunistic screening and population-based studies.
