Method and device for determining the lime content in blood-carrying vessels (Ca-scoring) with reduced radiation dose

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the calcium content in blood vessels in the ECG-triggered sequence mode of a computed tomography device, in which the assignment of an individual risk statement is made by comparison with reference to specific tube voltages reference tables, and a computed tomography device for performing the method. The invention significantly reduces the radiation dose to which a patient is exposed during such an examination.
