Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the impact of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-Veo (ASIR-V) and deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithms on the quantification of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). Furthermore, we propose to explore the feasibility of correcting the effects through fat threshold adjustment.
