An Analytic Method for Calculating Scanner-, Kilovoltage Peak–, and Patient Size–Specific Hounsfield Unit Scale Thresholds for Agatston Score

Conclusions Our results show a potential to enable accurate determination of AgSc under diverse conditions (eg, reduced tube potential) and are more easily applicable to different patient sizes than the phantom calibration method.
