Using AI to find dangerous heart plaque on CT scans
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at CT scans of the heart to find which fatty deposits (plaque) in the arteries might be dangerous. It may help doctors better predict heart attacks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a special heart imaging test (like ultrasound or light-based imaging) within 3 months of your CT scan.
- Your medications and symptoms did not change between the CT scan and the heart imaging test.
- A doctor found that one of your heart arteries was 30% to 90% narrowed during an invasive procedure.
- You did not have a stent or balloon procedure on that same artery before the imaging test.
- Both your CT scan and heart imaging test were good enough quality for doctors to analyze.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to look at chest CT scans for signs of coronary artery disease. It may help find blockages without needing a separate heart-specific CT scan.
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to analyze heart CT scans (CCTA) and identify dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to a heart attack. It aims to see if AI can better predict high-risk plaques in people with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
This study uses a computer program (artificial intelligence) to look at a non-contrast CT scan (a type of scan without dye) that you already had for chest pain. It aims to detect if you have blockages in your heart arteries, potentially helping find heart disease earlier.
This study tests a computer program that may help doctors find dangerous plaques in heart arteries using CT scans. It could make heart imaging more accurate without extra procedures.
This study uses a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) and advanced computer analysis to see how well it can predict heart risks compared to detailed inside-look tests (IVUS, OCT, NIRS). If you have chest pain and have had certain heart scans, this trial may help doctors understand your condition better.
This study uses a special CT scan to look at the inside of your heart arteries and find any high-risk fatty deposits (plaque) that might cause problems later. It aims to see if this scan can predict future heart events, so you and your doctor can make better treatment choices.
