Figure 2. — Different measurement approaches for PCAT. (A, B) show the patient-level PCAT measurement. The indicated measurement is made for the RCA with 40 mm length and 3 mm width with 1 mm gap from the coronary lumen. (C, D) show an example of vessel-level PCAT measurement. The measurement is here depicted for RCA with 10 mm length, 1 mm width and 1 mm gap. (E, F) show a lesion-specific PCAT measurement, here across a plaque in the LAD. The measured length is the same as the length of the plaque, while the measured width is 1 mm with 1 mm gap. LAD, left anterior descending; PCAT, pericoronary adipose tissue; RCA, right coronary artery.
