Why the study?
Interpreting CCTA scans and assigning CAD-RADS scores is resource-intensive and operator-dependent, driving demand for automated and transparent strategies to support routine CAD screening.
Does an automated Multi-Axis Vision Transformer model accurately predict CAD-RADS scores and the need for follow-up investigation from CCTA?
Population
253 patients with standard CCTA
Comparison
Fine-tuned MaxViT AI model vs conventional CNN and attention-based baselines
Design
AI model development and validation study
Key result
The Multi-Axis Vision Transformer model achieved an AUC of 0.93 and 0.88 accuracy in CAD-RADS scoring from coronary CT angiography in a cohort of 253 patients.

May facilitate automated CAD-RADS scoring; leaves open prospective multicenter validation before clinical use.
Does an automated Multi-Axis Vision Transformer model accurately predict CAD-RADS scores and the need for follow-up investigation from CCTA?
An explainable visual transformer model demonstrated high accuracy in automating CAD-RADS scoring and identifying the need for further invasive investigation from standard CCTA.
Parimbelli et al. (2026) studied this question. The Multi-Axis Vision Transformer model achieved an AUC of 0.93 and 0.88 accuracy in CAD-RADS scoring from coronary CT angiography in a cohort of 253 patients.
