Rationale and Objective: This retrospective study was to evaluate the feasibility and
accuracy of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) from virtual non-contrast (VNC) images in …

Objective Determination of coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) in non-contrast
computed tomography (CT) images has been shown to be an important prognostic factor in …

Purpose To evaluate the clinical applicability of a prototype virtual non-contrast (VNC)
reconstruction algorithm based on coronary CT angiography (cCTA) to assess calcified …

Purpose Modern non-invasive evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) requires non-
contrast low dose Computed Tomography (CT) imaging for determination of Calcium …

Purpose Virtual non-contrast (VNC) coronary artery calcium scoring (CAC) may obviate the
need for traditional non-contrast (TNC) CAC. There is no data on the influence of body mass …

The influence of coronary calcification on the diagnostic performance of coronary computed
tomography angiography (CTA) remains controversial. This study attempts to assess the …

Background When coronary calcium scoring is performed in patients with suspected
coronary artery disease, a separate noncontrast scan is acquired before contrast-enhanced …

the CTA examinations. Use of spectral CT acquisition in training did not necessitate its use
in testing or application, and any CTA acquisition, spectral or nonspectral, could be used to …

Objective The study investigated the accuracy of coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) and
the potential for reducing radiation dose using non-gated low-dose non-contrast chest …

Background Coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) for coronary artery disease requires
true noncontrast (TNC) CT alongside contrast-enhanced coronary CT angiography (CCTA) …
