Lower attenuation and higher kurtosis of coronary artery calcification associated with vulnerable plaque – an agatston score propensity-matched CT radiomics study

Lower attenuation and higher kurtosis of coronary artery calcification associated with vulnerable plaque – an agatston score propensity-matched CT radiomics study

Abstract Background Coronary artery calcification (CAC) burden assessed by Agatston score (AS) is currently recommended to stratify patients at risk for future acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Besides the CAC burden, the biostructure of CAC may also play a vital role in the vulnerability of CAC, which...
