A research project funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute to use AI for detecting breast arterial calcification on mammograms as a biomarker for cardiovascular disease risk in women, involving large-scale longitudinal cohort studies.
Description
This project focuses on detecting and quantifying breast arterial calcification (BAC) as a biomarker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women. It leverages longitudinal data from diverse populations, utilizing AI algorithms to detect BAC on 2D and 3D mammograms, and assess its predictive value for CVD risk. The study includes extending and validating AI algorithms, identifying associated clinical and socioeconomic factors, and following cohorts over a decade to study disease development.
