CAC scoring is simple to perform, low cost, and the associated radiation dose is generally low. Higher CAC scores are associated with an increasing risk of cardiovascular disease, while the absence of CAC (CAC=0
The CCS and MPI results provide complementary information and are used to answer distinct clinical questions. View chapter Book 2010, Clinical Nuclear Cardiology (Fourth Edition) Chapter Coronary CT Angiography 12 Is coronary CT the same as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring? No, CAC scoring is...
Multiple linear regression analysis is not reported, because the small sample size precludes reliable interpretation. RESULTS Fifteen children with rickets and 15 control children were enrolled. Both groups had 6 boys and 9 girls ranging in age from 2 to 8 y. The group of children with rickets ...

Computed tomography coronary angiography has a high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of non-obstructive and obstructive CAD in high-risk asymptomatic patients with inconclusive or unfeasible stress test results. Hadamitzky et al (2011) compared CCTA with calcium scoring and clinical risk scores ...

16 Thus, we used DLR to compute the change from pretest (based on traditional cardiovascular risk factors alone) to posttest risk that was associated with the results of a subsequent test showing a negative risk marker (ie, a CAC score of 0 in this study). A DLR value greater than 1 ...
Critical to its implementation is the ability of practitioners to understand the data and the limitations of the test, as outlined in this review, and appropriately utilize this knowledge in applying the test results to the care of their patients....
Thus, cutpoints for calcium scoring, as presented, are considered to be applicable to women as well as to men because women with any particular set of calcium scores tend to have the same amount of angiographic coronary disease as men with similar scores. An additional issue is that ...
