Visually estimated coronary artery calcium score improves SPECT-MPI risk stratification

Visually estimated coronary artery calcium score improves SPECT-MPI risk stratification

Aims: Computed tomographic attenuation correction (CTAC) scans for single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI) may reveal coronary artery calcification. The independent prognostic value of a visually estimated coronary artery calcium score (VECACS) from these...
