HeartFlow Plaque Analysis. A European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging study compared the noninvasive Plaque Analysis technology developed by HeartFlow, which uses advanced AI algorithms to evaluate coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images, with coronary plaque assessments achieved by using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The REVEALPLAQUE trial included data from 237 patients. Plaque Analysis showed strong correlation and high accuracy when compared with IVUS.
