AI Detection of Incidental Coronary Artery Calcium to Enhance Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

Purpose

AI INFORM is a multicenter randomized trial that will test the hypothesis that providing clinicians information on the presence and amount of coronary artery calcifications (CAC), will result in initiation or intensification of preventive therapies. The study will use a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) platform (Nanox.AI) that can analyze non contrast chest CT and estimate the amount of CAC.

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
Notification of Coronary Artery Calcification
Notification to providers of the presence of coronary artery calcification automatically detected by AI based device (software) on chest CT. Recommendation of preventive therapy.
  • Device: Electronic health record-based notification of Nanox.AI Coronary Artery Calcification Assessment
    The intervention involves electronic health record, email, or letter notification about the presence of coronary artery calcification on chest CT and recommendation of preventive therapy. This is based on results of the automatic detection of coronary artery calcification from AI device (software).
No Intervention
Non-notification of Coronary Artery Calcification
No notification to providers of the presence of coronary artery calcification on chest CT automatically detected by AI based device (software) on chest CT. No recommendation of preventive therapy.
