CALCIUM SCORING
Almost always the cause of calcification in the heart vessels is atherosclerosis. In calcium scoring, the presence and degree of calcification in the heart vessels is evaluated. Findings are translated into numerical form with a scoring system. A score of 0 means that there is no calcification in the heart vessels, while higher scores mean that there is more calcification in the heart vessels.
