Mayo Clinic uses AI on CT scans to boost heart disease risk prediction
Mayo Clinic researchers applied artificial intelligence to standard coronary artery CT scans, automatically measuring pericardial fat. The AI‑derived metric, published March 24 in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology, markedly improves long‑term cardiovascular disease risk prediction. This repurposes data already captured in routine imaging for better risk stratification.
