Diagnostic accuracy of artificial intelligence-enhanced coronary CT angiography for detecting functionally significant coronary artery disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
AI-enhanced imaging improves doctors' ability to determine which heart blockages actually need intervention, reducing unnecessary procedures.
BACKGROUND: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is widely used to evaluate suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), but its ability to determine the functional significance of coronary stenoses remains limite... Sensitivity analyses excluding studies at high risk of bias and including studies using alternative physiological reference standards (iFR ≤ 0.89 or FFR-based composite definitions) demonstrated comparable diagnostic per...
