The extent of coronary artery calcification (CAC) has been shown to be a strong and independent predictor for cardiovascular events. Usually, CAC scoring is performed in non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examinations. The ability and accuracy of cardiovascular risk classification according to the degree of CAC determined in contrast-enhanced coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has not been investigated so far. The aim of this analysis was to develop and validate a method for CAC risk classification in CCTA.
