An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm using deep learning can enable clinicians to estimate the coronary artery calcium scoring score on routine non-contrast chest CT, potentially allowing opportunistic early preventive interventions. A multi-center team (including UCSF) took part in a study and developed a fully automatic, end-to-end deep learning model for automated CAC scoring using routine non-gated unenhanced chest CT exams.
