Promoting Health Equity: Health equity is at the center of this collaboration. Traditionally, only patients with dedicated primary care physicians or cardiologists have been recipients of CAC screening scans. With the utilization of Aidoc, every patient undergoing a CT scan can have their imaging assessed for the presence of CAC. This initiative aims to expand access to life-saving cardiovascular assessments, potentially identifying coronary artery disease at earlier stages and offering intervention to prevent heart attacks and strokes, and reduce costs for patients, payers, and health systems.

"Collaborating with the American College of Cardiology represents a landmark moment in our mission to harness AI's potential in healthcare. ACC is renowned for its dedication to advancing cardiovascular care globally, and we are honored to work alongside them to elevate clinical management and enable equitable, preventative, state-of-the-art care," added Demetri Giannikopoulos, Vice President of Innovation, Aidoc. "Together, we can revolutionize how coronary artery calcium is detected and treated, profoundly impacting countless patients' lives. This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of medical innovation."

ACC and Aidoc are driving a paradigm shift in cardiovascular care. This collaboration aims to ensure that all patients are given access to the best care and treatment, while providing practicing clinicians with clear, data-driven insights to make informed decisions about the best next steps. It signifies a significant leap forward in pursuing healthier lives and underscores both organizations' unwavering commitment to patient well-being.
