Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, coronary vulnerable plaques could be classified with high accuracy by comprehensively evaluating the histogram features extracted from multi-energy data by multi-layer detector CT using a machine learning (random forest) models. This had significantly higher diagnostic performance than standard CT images had. Moreover, the diagnostic ability was significantly higher than that of the conventional analysis method using mean CT value. By using this new method, accurate characterization of coronary plaque can be possible, and it may contribute to the decision of an appropriate therapeutic strategy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
多層検出器CT によるmulti-energy dataを使用することにより、これまでよりも正確な冠動脈プラーク評価が可能となり、より適切な診療マネージメントが可能になると考えられる。このことは、急性冠症候群の発症抑制に寄与し、臨床診療の側面だけでなく、医療経済的にも意義が大きいと考える。
