Accuracy of aortic valve calcification volume score for identification of significant aortic stenosis on non-electrocardiographic-gated computed tomography compared to the Agatston scoring system
Considering the absence of reports validating the precision of the volume score and the relationship between the volume and Agatston scores, this study evaluated the accuracy of the volume score compared to the Agatston score for the quantitative measurement of aortic valve calcification (AVC) on non-electrocardiographic-gated computed tomography (CT).
