Agatston score
The Agatston Score, named after Arthur Agatston, is a measure of calcium generally included in the results from a CT Test for Coronary Calcification. The Agatston score is derived from the work of Drs. Agatston and Janowitz of the University of Miami School of Medicine and dates back into the 1980s. The original work was based on Electron Beam computed tomography (also known as Ultrafast CT or EBCT). The score is calculated using a weighted value assigned to the highest density of calcification in a given coronary artery. The density is measured in Hounsfield units, and score of 1 for 130-199 HU, 2 for 200-299 HU, 3 for 300-399 HU, and 4 for 400 HU and greater...
