  		Fig. 5 —Plot shows distribution of differences between repeated measurements of coronary artery calcium (CAC) as function of average CAC score for very low Agatston CAC scores. The 95% repeatability limits are too wide at these very low scores. No differences are outside the limits until the average CAC score exceeds 5.00 Agatston units. Curve shows 95% repeatability limits.
