Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a strong predictor for future cardiovascular events. Traditionally CAC has been quantified using the Agatston score, which was developed in the late 1980s for electron beam tomography (EBT). While EBT has been completely replaced by modern multiple-detector row CT...
Using an ultrafast CT scan technique, Agatston defined a method to calculate coronary artery calcium score (CAC score). Initially, the CAC score was called the Agatston score, The coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart. The amount of calcium...
Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring (CACS) is a noncontrast CT study usually performed on a MDCT scanner. Calcium deposits in coronary artery walls can then be visualized (Fig. 1). The overall calcium burden is calculated and a calcium score called the Agatston score is generated based on the Aga...
To evaluate the feasibility of using virtual noncontrast material-enhanced (VNC) computed tomographic (CT) series derived from dual-energy CT imaging studies for coronary artery calcium quantification. This HIPAA-compliant study was institutional review board approved; all patients provided written informed...
Member’s most recent coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan result was zero; Member's most recent CAC scan was at least 5 years ago; and Discovery of coronary calcium would change management. Aetna considers calcium scoring by means of low-dose CT angiography medically necessary for persons who ...

Computed tomography (CT) coronary angiogram Sometimes, doctors want a close-up look of your arteries. If so, a special dye is put into your vein before a CT scan. Coronary calcium scan Also called a heart calcium scan or cardiac calcium scan, this test looks for calcium deposits that are...
