ROC analysis comparing the value of EAT volumes from different CT images in predicting CAD–Comparison of the value of cardiac NCCT (referent) vs. non-ECG-gated chest NCCT-1.25 mm vs. chest NCCT-5 mm, with the same tube voltage 120 KV in Cohort 1,in predicting the presence of obstructive CAD (Panel a) and severe evidence of CAD by total CAC > 100 (Panel b); Comparison of the value of cardiac NCCT (referent) vs. non-ECG-gated chest NCCT-1.25 mm-100 KV vs. chest NCCT-5 mm-100 KV of Cohort 2 in predicting the presence of obstructive CAD (Panel c) and severe evidence of CAD by total CAC > 100 (Panel d). Abbreviation: AUC = Area under the curve, ROC = receiver operating characteristic, CAD = coronary artery disease, CAC = coronary calcium score, EAT = epicardial adipose tissue. others see Table 1
