What is Calcium Scoring?
Calcium Scoring is one of several CT scan options that doctors can use to evaluate your cardiovascular health. CT Calcium Scoring is a noninvasive test for quantifying coronary artery calcium content. The information acquired during your CT exam is processed with a specific cardiac scoring software package that evaluates and quantifies the amount of calcium in your coronary arteries. The calcium content correlates to the degree of blockage in your arteries and consequently provides clinicians with a good indication of what risks you face from heart disease.
