Combining AI with optical coherence tomography shows potential for detecting lipid-rich plaques in coronary arteries

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-based approach for detecting fatty deposits inside coronary arteries using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Because these lipid-rich plaques are strongly linked to serious cardiac events such as heart attacks, the method could eventually help doctors spot dangerous plaques before they rupture and cause damage.
