Abstract：The changes of pericoronary adipose tissue(PCAT)could dynamically reflect the activity of coronary artery inflammation,which plays an important role in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases.Parameters such as PCAT attenuation and radiomics detected by coronary CT examination could noninvasively evaluate coronary artery inflammation,which is of great significance for early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of cardiovascular diseases.This article reviews the research progressof PCAT imaging on coronary CT examination.
