syngo Calcium Scoring

Hints in General

• Kernel B35 is dedicated to calcium scoring studies,

providing the most accurate determination of the

HU-value of small calcified lesions. To ensure the

optimal image quality and correlation to known ref-

erence data, other kernels are not recommended.

• Use the ECG-triggered protocol for low-dose scan-

ning except for patients with arrhythmia. Use the

ECG-gated protocol when accuracy and/or reproduc-

ibility are essential, e.g. for follow-up studies of cal-

cium scoring.
