A Three-Dimensional Quantification of Calcified and Non-calcified Plaque Based on Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography Images: Comparison with Virtual Histology Intravascular Ultrasound

Abstract: The identification, quantification and characterization of coronary atherosclerotic plaque has a major influence on diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Recent studies have reported the ability of Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) to identify non-invasively coronary plaque features. In this study, we present a novel methodology for the identification of the plaque burden of the coronary artery and the volumetric quantification of calcified plaques (CP) and non-calcified plaqu… Show more

“…The current literature contains several studies which present the segmentation and analysis of CTCA images [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. In this work, the 3D reconstruction and plaque characterization tool integrates a methodology previously developed and validated in [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Briefly, the methodology consists of six different steps and is implemented with 2D axial CTCA images.…”
