Abstract
Computed tomographic image slices between 2.5 and 3.0 mm are commonly used for coronary calcium scanning. To evaluate the comparative accuracy of thicker image slices (5 to 6 mm) for predicting coronary events, we acquired both types of scans in 280 research participants and clinically followed them up for 7 years. We found that thick-slice image scanning and image assessment ranked calcium scores similarly and that measurements from both scanning methods predicted coronary heart disease events equally.
