Biograph completed its first U.S. study in collaboration with Caristo Diagnostics, employing an AI-powered system to evaluate computed tomography (CT) scans for signs of coronary inflammation. The analysis revealed that 42.9% of the screened asymptomatic patients showed evidence of inflammation in their coronary arteries.

The result indicates that a substantial portion of individuals without overt heart disease may carry underlying inflammatory risk, highlighting the potential value of AI-driven imaging tools for early detection and preventive cardiovascular care.
