Comparison of epicardial adipose tissue volume quantification between ECG-gated cardiac and non-ECG-gated chest computed tomography scans

Comparison of epicardial adipose tissue volume quantification between ECG-gated cardiac and non-ECG-gated chest computed tomography scans

Abstract Background This study investigated accuracy and consistency of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) quantification in non-ECG-gated chest computed tomography (CT) scans. Methods EAT volume was semi-automatically quantified using a standard Hounsfield unit threshold (− 190, − 30) in three indepen...
