| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Establishment of comprehensive method for quantification of calcified lesions in aorta: using CT imaging, we developed widely applicable methodology which easily enables us to re-construct three dimensional(3D) image of calcified lesions in aorta. This method allows us to evaluate global and local quantification of calcified lesions, which provides useful information for cardiovascular physicians and cardiovascular surgeons.
Serum metabolite profiling which reflects calcified lesion volume in aorta: hydrophilic small molecule metabolites in serum samples from patients who received aortic CT imaging were comprehensively analyzed with gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Through GC/MS based metabolome analysis, we found five metabolites showed statistically significant correlation with calcified lesion volume in aorta. We propose that the mathematical function with these five metabolites could be used as quantitative biomarker which reflects calcified lesion volume in aorta.
