Fig. 2B. Corresponding axial MDCT images obtained in 60-year-old woman
imaged twice with an identical prospectively ECG-triggered sequential scanning
protocol. Measurement of total calcification was highly variable (62%) between
scan 1 (A) and scan 2 (B) primarily because of differences in
amount of calcium detected in left anterior descending coronary artery
(arrow). Resulting difference in total Agatston score (10.3 for scan
1) and (5.4 for scan 2) did not correspond to difference in patient's risk
stratification.
