Racial differences in atherosclerosis and coronary plaque characteristics using enhanced AI quantification (RACE-AI)

Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has become a cornerstone in cardiovascular risk assessment, allowing for the quantification of coronary artery disease (CAD) burden and characterization of high-risk plaque features associated with adverse outcomes. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, utilizing the Agatston method, has been extensively validated as a predictor of cardiovascular events, with calcified plaques considered more stable and non-calcified plaques (NCP) linked to heighte…
