Division of Cardiology, Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute and Saint John's Cardiovascular Research Center, Torrance, California, USA.
Objective: Because almost all data currently available with coronary calcium scanning are from electron beam tomography (EBT), we assessed whether scores obtained with 64-multidetector computed tomography (CT; MDCT) are similar. We evaluated the interscan variation in coronary artery calcium (CAC), Agatston score (AS), and volume score (VS) between EBT and 64-MDCT (VCT; GE, Milwaukee, Wis).
Materials And Methods: One hundred two patients (mean age, 61.
