A deep learning algorithm accurately predicts the risk of death from cardiovascular disease using information from low-dose CT exams performed for lung cancer screening, according to a study published in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.
Lung screening studies show that heavy smokers die from cardiovascular disease as much as from lung cancer. The work offers a direction for future research to precisely pinpoint which calcifications are dangerous. OAK BROOK, Ill.

OAK BROOK, Ill. - A deep learning algorithm accurately predicts the risk of death from cardiovascular disease using information from low-dose CT exams performed for lung cancer screening, according to a study published in
Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. It even outpaces lung cancer as the leading cause of death in heavy smokers.
