“…5). The median values were lower in absolute value but also very consistent for different reconstruction increments (Median: AgN 110-115, Vol 112-115 mm 3 , Mass 36-38 mg). For the interpolated volume and interpolated mass, however, mean and median value are higher for low image increment.…”

“…For the interpolated volume and interpolated mass, however, mean and median value are higher for low image increment. They increase from Mean(Vol I )=261 mm 3 , Median(Vol I )=100 mm 3 , Mean(Mass I )=49 mg, and Median(Mass I )=21 mg for 3-mm image increment to Mean(Vol I )=302 mm 3 , Median(Vol I )=171 mm 3 , Mean(Mass I )=62 mg, and Median(Mass I )=40 mg for 1-mm increment (p<0.001). Agatston-, conventional volume, and conventional mass do not show systematic differences depending on the image increment, interpolated volume, and interpolated mass; however, they systematically provide lower values for small image overlap.…”

“…Although researchers are testing different presently available in vivo imaging methods for prediction of angiographically detectable stenosis [2], the tools used in diagnostic procedure of acute coronary syndrome remain the patient's history of chest pain, the specific ECG changes and the elevation of heart enzymes, for example the myoglobin and the troponins [3,4]. The golden standard for the evaluation of the extent of coronary atherosclerosis and the severity of the stenotic lesion is the coronary angiography, which shows the culprit lesion that causes the acute coronary syndrome.…”
