Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the lowest radiation exposure threshold at which coronary calcium scoring (CCS) remains accurate. METHODS: A prospective study of 43 consecutive eligible patients referred for CCS underwent imaging in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended protocol. Dedicated software was used to generate 8 series of images simulating tube currents ranging from 20 to 300 mA. These images were...
