Table 3 The classifications of lipid percentage index (LPI) and cap thickness index (CTI) for vulnerable plaque

From: Predicting plaque vulnerability change using intravascular ultrasound + optical coherence tomography image-based fluid–structure interaction models and machine learning methods with patient follow-up data: a feasibility study

LPI

The range of lipid percentage

CTI
