Coronary artery calcium score scan at 100 kVp with tin filtration (Sn100 kVp) prior to coronary computed tomography angiography for overall radiation dose reduction: a prospective cohort study

BACKGROUND: Reducing radiation dose is a global concern in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). We aimed to investigate whether a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) scan would lead to an overall reduction of radiation dose in CCTA examination and determine its necessity in routine CCTA...
