New imaging technique could improve how doctors spot dangerous heart plaques

Researchers have developed an ex vivo CT scanning method to better identify and characterize atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries. The advance could help cardiologists assess plaque risk more accurately and guide treatment decisions, potentially reducing heart attack rates and improving patient outcomes in preventive cardiology.
