High reproducibility on coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a key requirement in monitoring the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Retrospective ECG-gated helical CT has been shown to be superior to prospective gating helical CT in the reproducibility of CAC measurements. However, it brings with it a high level of radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to compare low- and standard-dose protocols in the variability of CAC scores and in image quality, thereby assessing the feasibility of low-dose retrospective ECG-gated helical CT in CAC measurements.
