BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are particularly susceptible to coronary atherosclerosis, which can be assessed using computed tomography (CT)-based coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. However, such a costly examination mi...
Lin et al. (Int Urol Nephrol, 2025) contribute to the literature on abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) using interpretable machine learning. However, several limitations hinder its clinical applicability. The cross-s...
BACKGROUND: Abdominal computed tomography (CT) is commonly performed in adults. Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) can be visualized and quantified using artificial intelligence (AI) on CTs performed for other clinical purposes (opportunistic CT). ...

In symptomatic patients undergoing coronary CTA for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), we assessed if quantification of plaque burden, in addition to luminal narrowing and clinical risk factors, offers incremental value for the identification o...
PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting coronary artery stenosis and calcified plaque on CT angiography (CTA), comparing its diagnostic performance with that of radiologists.
INTRODUCTION: About one-third of adults in the USA have some grade of hepatic steatosis. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans contain more information than currently reported. We previously reported new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms applied ...

Differentiating normal from minimally and mildly diseased coronary arteries on coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is crucial, impacting treatment decisions due to the extremely low coronary artery event risk associated with the former. ...

BACKGROUND: Low-cost/no-cost non-contrast CT calcium scoring (CTCS) exams can provide direct evidence of coronary atherosclerosis. In this study, using features from CTCS images, we developed a novel machine learning model to predict obstructive coro...
