True about Coronary Calcium Scoring EXCEPT:
CT Coronary Calcium Scoring Simplest application of cardiac CT Does not require administration of iodinated contrast. Presence of coronary aery calcification has been associated with increased burden of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular moality. Radiation dose associated is very low (~1-2 mSv). Coronary calcium is then quantified(Agatston score) Categorized as Minimal (0-10) Mild (10-100) Moderate (100-400) Severe (>400)
