Abstract

BACKGROUND: Among patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA), downstream positron emission tomography (PET) perfusion imaging can be performed to assess the presence of myocardial ischemia. A novel artificial-intelligence-guided quantitative computed tomography ischemia algorithm (AI-QCT) aims to predict ischemia directly from coronary CTA images. We aimed to study the prognostic value of AI-QCT among patients with obstructive CAD on coronary CTA and normal or abnormal downstream PET perfusion.
