Lung Cancer Screening Predicts Risk of Death from Heart Disease (IMAGE)
Caption
From top to bottom, maximum intensity projections of four randomly selected images from the evaluation set. The top two rows show cases that contain extensive arterial calcification (mainly the aortic arch), and the bottom two rows show controls containing none or limited arterial calcification. The left and right columns show maximum intensity projections of respective sagittal views and coronal views. The middle column lists Agatston scores if present in the slab. Note that none of the examples contained valve calcifications. Images have been automatically aligned such that they mimic the field of view of cardiac CT. However, for visualization purposes, large parts of the ribs and the vertebrae have been manually cropped from these examples. LAD = left anterior descending artery, LCX = left circumflex artery, RCA = right coronary artery.
