Can deep learning automate the assessment of epicardial adipose tissue volume on CCTA for cardiovascular risk stratification?
Automated deep-learning assessment of epicardial adipose tissue on CCTA is feasible and may serve as a marker for cardiovascular risk stratification.
Automated assessment of EAT volume is possible in CCTA, including in patients who are technically challenging; it forms a powerful marker of metabolically unhealthy visceral obesity, which could be used for cardiovascular risk stratification.
