Abstract
Coronary artery calcification quantification (scoring) has been done with e lectron beam CT (EBCT), but is now being done with spiral or helical CT. Ma ny radiologists and cardiologists who do not have EBCT but do have access t o spiral CT will now be able to do coronary artery calcification scoring, a nd will now need to know the spiral CT appearance of the coronary artery an atomy. This pictorial review will demonstrate the anatomy needed for corona ry artery calcium scoring.
