the image material must meet the following require-
ments:
• Only images of one patient must be loaded for
syngo Calcium Scoring evaluation.
• The scans must have been acquired without gantry
tilt (gantry tilt = 0).
• Only original image material must be used that has
neither been edited with 2D tools in the Viewing
task card e.g., Zoom&Pan nor with 3D tools in 3D
e.g., curved mode.
• Only image data sets with the same slice orientation
must be used.
• Only contiguously scanned and reconstructed
sequence or spiral data sets with identical slice dis-
tances and identical thickness must be evaluated.
• The slices must have been scanned at different table
positions.
• The data capacity of the volume must not exceed
1024 images with a matrix size of 512 x 512 pixels.
• Only studies without contrast medium must be
used.
