Will #AI enhance care of patients?
Yes!
How?
-Improved reliability
-Atherosclerosis guided Rx
-Risk prediction
-Requires validation ✅

AI & ML in #YesCCT: New Frontiers in Atherosclerosis

-The field of #YesCCT has evolved rapidly
-Current CV risk prediction models are inadequate – can AI help?
-Average imager may read > 1 billion pixels per day

#SCCT2021 (3/5)
#AI & ML in #YesCCT: Atherosclerosis

-Be mindful of caveats, ensure validity & avoid hype
-Opportunity to improve #CCT reproducibility (in conjunction w/ education!)
-#CLARIFY - algorithm validation
-#CLARIFY– high accuracy for %stenosis

#AI/ML in #YesCCT: Atherosclerosis #SCCT2021 (4/5)

-Comprehensive evaluation of atherosclerosis that is challenging, even for expert readers!
-Plaque allows us to understand the spectrum of atherosclerotic risk
-Low stenosis patient may have high plaque volume!
