Clinical Study

Analyzing Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Low CAC Scores by 64-Slice MDCT

Figure 1

It shows three MDCT images of patients. One 53-year-old male presented with calcified atheroma plaque in the proximal to middle portion of the RCA (A1, A2) and soft plaque in the proximal portion of LAD (A3) and had a CAC score of 110. A 44-year-old male presented with a small amount of calcified atheroma plaque in the proximal to middle portion of the LAD (B1, B2, and B3) and had a CAC score of 5. A 54-year-old male had normal coronary arteries; no calcified atheroma plaque was found (C1, C2, and C3) with his CAC score was 0.
