A slight impact of coronary calcium was observed on the diagnostic accuracy of 16-slice MSCT CA on a segment basis, with no significant impact on a vessel and patient basis. No significant impact of coronary calcium was observed on the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice MSCT CA on a segment, vessel, or patient basis.
