Coronary plaque analysis from computed tomography coronary angiography. To obtain quantitative and qualitative patient-specific plaque markers, the plaque burden is analyzed according to tissue attenuation based on Hounsfield Units (a). Example of the longitudinal tracking by an automatically generated curved multiplanar image data reformation along the vessel centerline (b) and corresponding transverse luminal sections perpendicular to the centerline (c and d) provided by the software
