[Retracted] Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume Is Associated with High Risk Plaque Profiles in Suspect CAD Patients

Figure 2

Precise quantitative analysis method for plaque composition based on CCTA images. The vessel and lumen contour were depicted manually. After automatic recognition specific composition CT attenuation, the volume of each composition was calculated. Above case showed a quantitative process of noncalcified plaque located at the proximal segment of left anterior descending branch. The lesion length was 12.6 mm, the lumen volume was 93.91 mm³, the total plaque volume was 140.02 mm³, the calcified volume was 6.47 mm³, the noncalcified volume was 133.55 mm³, the lipid volume was 24.27 mm³, and the fibrous volume was 109.28 mm³.
