Background Peripheral artery calcium scoring systems are commonly used in clinical trials
to categorize calcium severity but there are little data on their accuracy and reliability. The …

Purpose: To validate 3 angiographic scoring systems for peripheral artery calcification using
intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as the gold standard. Methods: The study employed …

Purpose Peripheral arterial calcification is an important predictor of outcomes after both
conservative and endovascular treatment. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-based …

Objective Duplex ultrasound (US) of the lower extremities is commonly used to assess
patients with lower extremity atherosclerosis. Arterial calcification can often be visualized in …

Background The coronary artery calcium score is a widely known independent predictor of
cardiac events. Tibial artery calcification had been reported as an amputation risk, but the …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the interscanner and interscoring platform
variability of calcium quantification in peripheral arteries of the lower extremities. Materials …

Purpose: The calcium score is a measure of vessel wall calcification and has clinical
applications when studied in different vascular beds. The presence of vascular calcification …

Lower limb arterial calcification associates with poor cardiovascular outcomes. The gold
standard method of assessment is via computed tomography, yet duplex is our primary …

Purpose To identify associations between computed tomography (CT)–based lower-
extremity calcium score (LECS) across different anatomic segments and the presence …

Vascular calcification (VC), particularly medial (Mönckeberg's medial sclerosis) arterial
calcification, is common in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease and is …
