Interscan variability of coronary artery calcium quantification using an electrocardiographically pulsed spiral computed tomographic protocol

Abstract
The use of an electrocardiographically pulsed spiral computed tomographic protocol significantly reduced the radiation dose to patients who underwent coronary calcium screening. For Agatston scores <10, the interscan variability of such a protocol was significantly lower than that for a sequential acquisition protocol. At higher Agatston scores, the 2 protocols had similar variability characteristics.
