This sounds interesting, but I am still having a hard time understanding what this adds to a standard CT angiogram. I get that they use AI to analyze the images but what does that do other than speed up the reading process? The images are the images and AI can't add information that isn't there natively. Now if they are extrapolating from the image to sort of fill in the blanks that would seem problematic to me.

The Cleerly analysis identifies low-density, uncalcified plaque, uncalcifed plaque and calcified plaque, specifying location. It does this on an expanding volume of scans. It’s learned how to read, and continues to improve its readings based on increasing amounts of data. It can show this info in a 3D model. It also adds accuracy. The caveat here is that I am a non-professional. One needs to talk to Cleerly Health.
