Correlation of calcium scoring with image anatomy of cardiac angiography CT examination in coronary heart disease

Abstract

Coronary heart disease is caused by narrowing or obstruction of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. In establishing a diagnosis of heart disease, a precise and accurate radiological examination is required. Parameters are needed in Computed Tomography (CT) angiography to support the diagnosis with a radiation safety. This research is a qualitative study with an observational survey approach was conducted at Hospital in Semarang on 30 patients with CT cardiac angiography examination. The research data obtained are image of CT cardiac angiography and calcium scoring which is then performed a descriptive image analysis. The results of the examination 30 patients obtained the calculation of the value of the heart blood vessel LAD, RCA, LCX. Calcium Score calculation is automatically by the software. Samples were found to have abnormal calcium scoring values are 23 of 30 samples, from low to high. Corelation of calcium scoring with image anatomy in coronary heart disease is characterized by the presence of palque with high calcium scoring >100, the perfusion model results have decreased function on the calcification scale, and there is a stenosis image on CT with contrast media and 3D images on one or more LAC, RCA, LAD, RCX, or LCX.
