Rationale and Objectives To describe the rationale, design, and technical background of
coronary artery calcium (CAC) imaging in the large-scale population-based cardiovascular …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a strong predictor for future cardiovascular events.
Traditionally CAC has been quantified using the Agatston score, which was developed in …

Objective To assess the maximally achievable computed tomography (CT) dose reduction
for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring with iterative reconstruction (IR) by using phantom …

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of low-tube-voltage (80 kVp) coronary CT
angiography (CCTA) combined with contrast medium (CM) reduction and iterative model …

Purpose To determine the effect of model-based iterative reconstruction (IR) on coronary
calcium quantification using different submillisievert CT acquisition protocols. Methods …

Multiple dose reduction techniques have been introduced for coronary artery calcium (CAC)
computed tomography (CT), but few have emerged into clinical practice while an increasing …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a low contrast, low-radiation dose
protocol of 80-peak kilovoltage (kVp) with prospective electrocardiography-gated cardiac …

To evaluate the influence of dose reduction in combination with iterative reconstruction (IR)
on coronary calcium scores (CCS) in a dynamic phantom on state-of-the-art CT systems …

Objective: CT coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) is additive to traditional risk factors for
predicting future cardiac events but is associated with relatively high radiation doses. We …

Rationale and Objectives We compared the effect of iterative model reconstruction (IMR),
filtered back projection (FBP), and hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) on coronary artery …
