64 or 128 slice Helical CT's give excellent images with albeit with a higher dose

FWIW I haven't looked thoroughly at the papers on calcium score in 5 years or more - but when I last looked there were a whole host of papers on how to use/prove out the multislice device to get a predictive result.

As for 99% - it actually is worrisome that the field is tending that way. Even the doc I know is focusing more on using more traditional CT scans for angiograms - something I would very much steer away from.

Just heard from the doc (via another party) I know in this field that they now use SW to allow them to lower the dose to EBCT levels when using the Multislice for Calcium Scores.

So I take back my earlier comment on Multislice dose.
