Original Source: The effect of calcium score on the diagnostic accuracy of coronary computed tomography angiography.

The influence of coronary calcification on the diagnostic performance of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) remains controversial. This study attempts to assess the effect of coronary calcium score (CS) on the diagnostic accuracy of detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) using 64-row multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Over a period of 2 years and 9 months, 113 symptomatic patients (37-87 year-old, mean 62.3, 92 males) underwent 64-row MDCT for coronary CS and CTA. All had conventional...
