Validation of the Automated Deep-Learning Model in Challenging Clinical Populations
The automated EAT volume quantification tool was applied to groupings of unseen CCTA from the AdipoRedOx study and the SCOT-HEART trial. (A) Patients who underwent open heart surgery, specifically coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), up to 6 weeks prior to CCTA (green) and patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m2(red); (B) patients with coronary artery calcium (CAC) ≥400 (green) and patients with significant metallic artifact within the pericardium (red); (C) patients who underwent open heart surgery (CABG) up to 6 weeks prior to the CCTA, had BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and CAC ≥400. Abbreviations as in Figures 1, 2, and 4.
