Variation in aorta attenuation in contrast-enhanced CT and its implications for calcification thresholds
BACKGROUND: CT contrast media improves vessel visualization but can also confound calcification measurements. We evaluated variance in aorta attenuation from varied contrast-enhancement scans, and quantified expected plaque detection errors when thresholding for calcification. METHODS: We measured a...
