Use of artificial intelligence in MSCT analysis of coronary arteries
Keywords:
coronary arteries, MSCT, artificial intelligence, computed tomography, stenosis, atherosclerosis, diagnostics, prognosis, cardiovascular diseasesAbstract
This article examines the modern capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the analysis of coronary artery multislice computed tomography (MSCT) images. Recent studies show that AI significantly improves the ability to determine the degree of coronary artery stenosis, assess atherosclerotic plaques, and predict cardiovascular complications. The analysis indicates that AI algorithms increase diagnostic accuracy, accelerate physicians‘ workflow, and play an important role in developing individualized treatment strategies
