Claim 27:
28. A computer-implemented method of assessing risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) for a subject based on multi-dimensional information derived from non-invasive medical image analysis, the method comprising:
accessing, by a computer system, one or more medical images of a subject, wherein the medical image of the subject is obtained non-invasively;
analyzing, by the computer system, the one or more medical images of the subject to identify one or more coronary arteries of the subject;
identifying, by the computer system, one or more regions of plaque in the identified one or more coronary arteries; analyzing, by the computer system, the identified one or more regions of plaque in the coronary arteries to perform quantified phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis comprising total plaque volume, low-density non-calcified plaque volume, non-calcified plaque volume, and calcified plaque volume in the one or more coronary arteries;
comparing, by the computer system, results of the quantified phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis to a set of reference values of quantified phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis corresponding to different levels of risk of PAD; and
generating, by the computer system, an assessment of risk of PAD for the subject based at least in part on the comparison of the results of the quantified phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis to the set of reference values, wherein the computer system comprises a computer processor and an electronic storage medium.
