Low-dose CT raises coronary calcium scores; IR corrects them

By Eric Barnes

Low-dose coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores are reliable if iterative reconstruction (IR) is applied to the CT data, according to research presented at RSNA 2012. Dutch researchers found that the technology ensures the accuracy of CAC scores that would otherwise be higher and less predictable than the results of higher-dose CT scans.
