Radiomics Analysis of Clinical Myocardial Perfusion SPECT to Predict Coronary Artery Calcification

Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the ability of radiomics analysis to capture valuable information from MPS scans, enabling significant correlation of perfusion heterogeneity to CAC scores. These results suggest that radiomic analysis has the potential to add diagnostic and prognostic value to standard MPS for wide clinical usage.
