Interscan variability for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoringsurrogate

Cardiac 64-MDCT provides comparable reproducibility to EBT for coronary artery calcium scoring.

Abstract

For CAC scoring, interscan variability with newer-generation MDCT scanners was similar to but not superior to that with the EBT scanner.
