Insights on Identifying Plaque Using Non-Invasive Imaging: Calcium Scoring and Visual Estimation

This chapter delves into the use of non-invasive imaging techniques to detect obstructive coronary disease and assess plaque burden, emphasizing the importance of characterizing plaque to distinguish between low-burden and high-risk types. It outlines three key methods for identifying plaque through CT imaging, such as calcium scoring and visual estimation, offering essential information for clinical decision-making.
