What does CAD stand for?

Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: The main goal driving this work is to develop computer-aided classification models relying on clinical data to identify coronary artery disease (CAD) instances with high accuracy while incorporating the expert’s opinion as input, making it a "man-in-the-loop" approach.

What is CCTA CAD RADS 0?

It summarizes the findings of CCTA in 6 categories ranging from CAD-RADS 0 (complete absence of coronary artery disease) to CAD-RADS 5 (total occlusion of at least one vessel). It is applied on per patient basis for the highest grade of the stenotic lesion.

How many CAD-rads categories are there?

There are 6 CAD-RADS categories, ranging from CAD-RADS 0 (no plaque) to CAD-RADS 5 (at least one total occlusion). The category is assigned based on the highest grade of stenosis present. CAD-RADS 0 represent no atherosclerotic disease in any coronary artery ( Figure 1 ).
