Calcium score of small coronary calcifications on multidetector computed tomography: Results from a static phantom study
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Multi detector computed tomography (MDCT) underestimates the coronary calcium score as compared to electron beam tomography (EBT). Therefore clinical risk stratification based on MDCT calcium scoring may be inaccurate. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a new phantom which enables establishment of a calcium scoring protocol for MDCT that yields a calcium score comparable to the EBT values and to the physical mass.
