Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes the role of incidentally and non-incidentally discovered coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the evolving role of non-coronary artery calcification in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk assessment. Additionally, this review explores the emerging use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), radiomics, and natural language processing (NLP) for automated detection, quantification, and communication of these incidentally discovered findings.
