Measurements of EAT quantity and quality on coronary CTA images. Cross-sectional image for volume measurement of total EAT (a), peri-vessel EAT (b), and peri-lesion EAT (c). Location and length of study coronary lesion were double checked using CTA (c) and corresponding angiographic images (c′). ROIs are stained red. The narrowest location in diameter stenosis of study lesion were determined in (d) and (d'). According to the most severe diameter stenotic cross-sectional CTA image (e), peri-lesion EAT density was the average CT attenuation of peri-lesion EAT. EAT, epicardial adipose tissue; CTA, computed tomography angiography; ROI, region of interest
