Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Non-gated, non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scans are commonly ordered for a variety of non-cardiac indications, but do not routinely comment on the presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC)/atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) which is known to correlate with increased cardiovascular risk. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can help detect and quantify CAC/ASCVD which can lead to early treatment and improved outcomes.
