ArXi:2605.21762v1 Announce Type: new Non-contrast computed tomography calcium scoring (CTCS) is a cost-effective imaging modality widely used to detect coronary artery calcifications. This study aimed to develop an advanced machine learning framework that utilizes quantitative analyses of coronary calcium and epicardial fat from CTCS images to predict obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The study population consisted of 1,324 patients from the SCOT-HEART clinical trial who underwent both CTCS and coronary CT angiography.
