Diagnostic value of using epicardial fat measurement on screening low-dose chest CT for the prediction of metabolic syndrome: A cross-validation study

There has been a marked increase in the use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening. However, the potential of LDCT to predict metabolic syndrome (MetS) has not been well-documented in this risk-sharing population. We assessed the reliability of epicardial fat volume (EFV) a...
