1. A computer-implemented method for guiding determination of treatment for a subject with coronary artery disease (CAD) based on CAD risk staging derived from non-invasive medical image analysis, the method comprising:
accessing, by a computer system, a CAD risk factor level for a subject;
accessing, by the computer system, a medical image of the subject, the medical image comprising one or more coronary arteries;
analyzing, by the computer system, the medical image of the subject to determine a CAD risk stage for the subject, the CAD risk stage comprising a risk assessment based at least in part on vascular morphology and quantitative phenotyping of atherosclerosis comprising analysis of one or more of plaque volume, plaque composition, or plaque progression, wherein a CAD risk stage above a predetermined CAD risk stage threshold is indicative of a need for treatment of CAD for the subject;
determining, by the computer system, correlation of the CAD risk factor level with the CAD risk stage; and
determining, by the computer system, a subject-specific goal for the CAD risk factor level based at least in part on the determined correlation of the CAD risk factor level with the CAD risk stage, wherein the determined subject-specific goal for the CAD risk factor level is configured to be used to determine an individualized treatment for the subject, wherein the computer system comprises a computer processor and an electronic storage medium.
