Abstract
CT coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) is additive to traditional risk factors for predicting future cardiac events but is associated with relatively high radiation doses. We assessed the feasibility of CACS radiation dose reduction using a lower tube current and iterative reconstruction (IR).
