While computed tomography (CT) scans can help detect coronary calcium, measuring the amount of plaque needs time, dedicated equipment, and radiological know-how. While chest CT scans are quite common in practice, calcium score CTs are not.
Now, researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) Program and the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center (CIRC) at Massachusetts General Hospital have collaborated to design and assess a deep learning system that may help change this scenario. ....
