  • Patent number: 12620092
    Abstract: Systems and methods of facilitating determination of risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) based at least in part on one or more measurements derived from non-invasive medical image analysis. The methods can include accessing a non-invasive generated medical image, identifying one or more arteries, identifying, regions of plaque within an artery, analyzing the regions of plaque to identify low density non-calcified plaque, non-calcified plaque, or calcified plaque based at least in part on density, determining a distance from identified regions of low density non-calcified plaque to one or more of a lumen wall or vessel wall, determining embeddedness of the regions of low density non-calcified plaque by one or more of non-calcified plaque or calcified plaque, determining a shape of the more regions of low density non-calcified plaque, and generating a display of the analysis to facilitate determination of one or more of a risk of CAD of the subject.
