Thin-slice non-contrast CT can improve plaque detection beyond CCTA 

📢 New Publication in European Radiology 

Kenrick Schulze

We are thrilled to share our latest research published in European Radiology on the added value of thin-slice non-contrast CT for detecting calcified coronary plaques that were missed by CCTA by our team member, Kenrick Schulze.  

Using a novel deep learning-aided co-registration framework, we show that CCTA misses more than one-third of calcified plaques detectable on thin-slice non-contrast CT, nearly half of which were also missed by standard calcium scoring CT. 🏥🫀
