Aim and Objective: To estimate the relationship between Coronary Calcium Scoring (CCS)and presence of different degrees of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) to avoid unnecessary examinations and hence unnecessary radiation exposure and contrast injection. Background: Coronary Calcium Scoring (CCS) is a test uses x-ray equipment to produce pictures of the coronary arteries to determine the degree of its narrowing by the build-up of calcified plaques. Despite the lack of definitive data linking ionizing radiation with cancer, the American Heart Association supports widely that practitioners of Computed tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) should keep “patient radiation doses as low as reasonably achievable but consistent with obtaining the desired medical information”. Methods: Data obtained from 275 CTCA examinations were reviewed. Radiation effective doses were estimated for both CCS and CTCA, measures to keep it as low as possible were presented, CCS and Framingham risk estimate were compared to the final results of CTCA to detect sensitivity and specificity of each one in detecting obstructive lesions. Results: CCS is a strong discriminator for obstructive CAD and can with high sensitivity and specificity and correlates well with the degree of obstruction even more than Framingham risk estimate which has high sensitivity and low specificity. Conclusion: CCS helps reducing the effective radiation dose if properly evaluated to skip unnecessary CTCA if obstructive lesions was unlikely, and as a test does not use contrast material, harmful effect on the kidney will be avoided as most of coronary atherosclerotic patients have renal problems.
