Coronary atherosclerotic plaque characterisation may contribute to risk stratification for future cardiovascular events. The ability of computed tomography to classify plaques as 'fibrous' or 'lipid-rich' based on their average CT attenuation has been investigated but is fraught with substantial limitations. In this study, we evaluated the potential of analysing the distribution of CT attenuation values measured in Hounsfield Units (HU) within coronary atherosclerotic plaques to classify non-calcified plaques into fibrous and lipid-rich subtypes. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) served as the gold standard.
