Coronary artery calcification

Coronary artery calcification - CT. Image obtained in a patient with a large amount of calcium in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Note that other hyperattenuating structures (eg, bone, calcified lymph nodes) are pink. During the scoring process, the radiologist must circle only those areas that correspond to one of the coronary arteries.
