Identification of histological carotid plaque vulnerability by CT angiography using perivascular adipose tissue radiomics signature
Noninvasive and effective identification of histological carotid vulnerable plaques is challenging. The PVAT radiomics outperforms conventional imaging biomarkers in identifying vulnerable plaques. The PVAT radiomic model is generalizable across scanners and interpretable, assisting clinical decision-making.
