Cardiac CT radiomics study preview: learn about research testing whether myocardial texture at the LA–LAA junction can inform stroke risk stratification in atrial fibrillation patients.
Key Takeaways
- The study extracted first-order, shape, and texture radiomics features from cardiac CT at the LA–LAA junction and used LASSO for feature selection.
- A logistic regression model combined radiomics features and clinical variables to predict AF-related cardioembolic stroke risk.
- Model performance was evaluated with ROC curves and risk visualization using a nomogram for thromboembolic stratification.
