Background: Cardiac CT for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring exposes patients to 1 mSv of radiation. A new CT scout method utilizing ultra-low dose CT (3D Landmark) offers tomographic cross-sectional imaging, which provides axial images from which CAC can be estimated. The purpose of our study is to analyze the association between estimated CAC burden on 3D Landmark scout imaging vs dedicated ECG-gated CACS.

This study aimed to determine the scan delay for bolus tracking in the hepatic artery phase (HAP) of hepatic dynamic computed tomography (CT) using the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) from CT scout images. We retrospectively studied 188 patients who underwent hepatic dynamic CT, 24 of whom had scan delays adjusted for CTR. The contrast enhancement of the abdominal aorta, portal vein, hepatic vein, and hepatic parenchyma was calculated for HAP.
