AI-derived epicardial fat measurements improve cardiovascular risk prediction from myocardial perfusion imaging

Abstract Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and attenuation are associated with cardiovascular risk, but manual annotation is time-consuming. We evaluated whether automated deep learning-based EAT measurements from ungated computed tomography (CT) are associated with death or myocardial infarcti...
