Deep learning for automatic calcium scoring in population based cardiovascular screening

Background High volumes of standardized coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans are generated in screening that need to be scored accurately and efficiently to risk stratify individuals. Purpose To evaluate the performance of deep learning based software for automatic coronary calcium scoring in a screening setting. Methods Participants from the Robinsca trial that underwent low-dose ECG-triggered cardiac CT for calcium scoring were included. CAC...
