CT cardiac imaging identification of patients at risk

The chapter explores the use of cardiac imaging techniques using computed tomography (CT) to identify patients at risk of cardiovascular disease. The first section focuses on the Intima Media Thickness (IMT) and Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC). The second section looks to the future, proposing Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index (pFAI).
