AI detects hidden heart disease using existing scans stored in patient records

Mass General Brigham
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers at Mass General Brigham, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), developed an AI tool called AI-CAC that analyzes routine chest CT scans to identify individuals at risk for cardiovascular events by detecting coronary artery calcium (CAC). The tool, shown to be highly accurate and predictive of 10-year mortality, could enable earlier intervention and help repurpose millions of existing CT scans for proactive heart disease prevention.
