Diagnostic Phase of Calcium Scoring Scan Applied as the Center of Acquisition Window of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Improves Image Quality in Minimal Acquisition Window Scan (Target CTA Mode) Using the Second Generation 320-Row CT

<div>Examples of regions of interest (ROIs) drawn on a cross-sectional image, at the proximal ascending aorta; the proximal, middle, and distal segments of the left anterior descending artery. Black circle shows ROIs drawn inside the lumens of the arteries, while white circle shows ROIs drawn in the nearby connective tissue to calculate contrast-to-noise ratio.</div>
