TABLE I.
Location-specific features and systemic information used in this study.
Local | Basic Clinical Measures (F1–F21) | Plaque composition: Plaque phenotype, DC/NC/FF/FT [CSA], DC/NC/FF/FT [%], max. confluent NC, max. NC angle, # NC abutting. Plaque morphology: Lumen/EEM/PM [CSA], PB, remodeling index, distance to ostium, mean plaque thickness, std. plaque thickness, eccentricity. |
First-Order Descriptors (F22–F30) | Plaque grayscale intensity: mean, median, std., max, min, mode. Plaque intensity histogram: first, median, third quartiles. | |
Plaque Textures (F31–F46) | Contrast, correlation, energy, homogeneity [θ = 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°]. | |
Layered Plaque Components (F47–F118) | DC/NC/FF/FT [%] in 10%~90% inner & outer rings. | |
Spatial Contextual Features (F119–F236) | Average feature value of one adjacent distal and one adjacent proximal frames. Calculate for all F1~F118. | |
Systemic | Demographics & Biomarkers (F237–F254) | Age, gender, weight, BMI, family history, smoking history, current smoker, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, pervious MI, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, previous statin treatment, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides. |
DC: dense calcium; NC: necrotic core; FF: fibrofatty; FT: fibrotic tissue; BMI: body mass index; MI: myocardial infarction; ACE: angiotensin-converting enzyme; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: high-density lipoprotein.
