COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF CT CALCIUM SCORING AND CT CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE: THE INFLUENCE OF REDUCED RADIATION EXPOSUREGiven the high sensitivity of CTCS, the results suggest that CTCS is a cost-effective triage test to rule out CAD in both men and women ...
Before your test, you will be asked to wear a medical gown and remove any jewelry from your neck and chest area. An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) will be used to help guide your calcium scoring, so you will have small, painless electrodes placed on your chest. The EKG will monitor you...
During a calcium scoring heart CT scan, which takes about 10 minutes, computerized tomography is used to detect calcification in the arteries, which can indicate a risk of heart disease. A doctor evaluates the results and assigns a calcium score. If no calcium is found, the test is considered...
To assess thecost effectivenessofcoronary arterycalcium (CAC) compared with traditional risk factor–based prediction alone in those with an family history of prematurecoronary artery disease(FHCAD). Background The use of CAC scoring to guide primary preventionstatintherapy in those with a FHCAD is...
A total of 1024 subjects actually completed the questionnaire. This study also tested the reliability of the Mandarin version of SF-36 by randomly selecting 10% of the total number of the respondents to refill the questionnaires 2–7 days after the baseline test. Treatment of BTNs and Follow-...

Full chest calcium scoring scanLung cancer screeningBackground: Conventional CTCS images the mid/lower chest for coronary artery disease (CAD). Because many CAD patients are also at risk for lung malignancy, CTCS often discovers incidental pulmonary nodules (IPN). CTCS excludes the upper chest, ...
