Claim 23:
24. A computer-implemented method of assessing risk of heart disease for a subject based on multi-dimensional information derived from non-invasive medical image analysis, the method comprising:
accessing, by a computer system, results of quantified phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis of a subject at a first point in time, the quantified phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis comprising total plaque volume, low-density non-calcified plaque volume, non-calcified plaque volume, and calcified plaque volume in one or more portions of coronary arteries of the subject;
accessing, by a computer system, a state of emphysema of the subject analyzed at the first point in time;
accessing, by the computer system, a medical image of the subject, wherein the medical image of the subject is obtained at a second point in time, the medical image comprising the one or more portions of coronary arteries and lungs of the subject;
analyzing, by the computer system, the medical image to perform quantitative phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis at the second point in time; analyzing, by the computer system, the medical image to determine a state of emphysema at the second point in time;
analyzing, by the computer system, progression of coronary atherosclerosis based at least in part on comparing the results of quantitative phenotyping of coronary atherosclerosis between the first point in time and the second point in time;
analyzing, by the computer system, progression of emphysema based at least in part on comparing the state of emphysema between the first point in time and the second point in time; and
assessing, by the computer system, a risk of heart disease for the subject based at least in part on the analysis of the progression of coronary atherosclerosis and the progression of emphysema,
wherein the computer system comprises a computer processor and an electronic storage medium.
