Virtual Non-Iodine Coronary Calcium Scoring on Photon-Counting CT: Patient- and Plaque-Level Analysis [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground/Objectives: Whether PCCT-derived virtual non-iodine (VNI) images can replace true non-contrast (TNC) for coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) remains uncertain, particularly for small, low-density plaques.

The value of coronary calcium score in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with chronic coronary syndrome [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular DisordersBackground Coronary artery atherosclerosis and calcification are the precursors to the development of coronary artery disease and its complications. Coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) is useful as a risk-stratification tool in coronary artery disease.

Leveraging the coronary calcium scan beyond the coronary calcium score [PDF]
European Radiology, 2018 Non-contrast cardiac computed tomography in order to obtain the coronary artery calcium score has become an established diagnostic procedure in the clinical setting, and is commonly employed in clinical and population-based research. This state-of-the-art review paper highlights the potential gain in information that can be obtained from the non ...

Prevalence and extent of coronary artery disease among patients with a zero calcium score
Zanco Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022 Background and objective: Coronary artery calcium is a specific indicator of and an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, calcium scoring may miss non calcified plaques, which were indicated to be of clinical importance.
