Heart disease remains the leading global cause of death, prompting advances in imaging technologies for better diagnostics. AI-enabled heart CT scans, as touted by Dr. Ricardo Cury and Dr. Socrates Kakoulides at Baptist Health Miami, allow for highly precise assessment of arterial plaque, distinguishing between types and risks in ways traditional methods cannot. This advancement enables personalized treatment plans, reduces unnecessary invasive procedures, and monitors heart health over time. The technology aims to transform cardiology by providing clearer insights into cardiovascular risks.
