Abstract
Methods for volumetric characterisation of perivascular adipose tissue use data collected by computed tomography (CT) scanning. The volumetric characterisation of perivascular adipose tissue allows the inflammatory status of underlying blood vessels to be established by CT scanning. This is of use in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of coronary and vascular disease.
