Talk:Coronary CT calcium scan

This article is in serious need of improvement, including references, some more description of scoring system mentioned. Isn't this just a variant of a focused echocardiography exam?? If so, this should be mentioned in the first sentence, and possibly the article can be merged into Echocardiography

Radiation dose and cancer outcomes are well studies. We have all use the cancer rate as the measure of risk for many years. However we now know that dna damage, including double strand breaks, are repaired we exquisite accuracy - yet the tissue function may have severe damage through epigenetic mechanisms. Our societies should get in front of this and not dig in their heals. 73.206.51.240 (talk) 02:47, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

"Lesion-specific calcium score" section is just one researcher's vanity entry? edit

Lesion-specific calcium score appears to be just work by one researcher (Voros) on a proposed score modification. Is this score actually in clinical use. Smells like academic puffery. Cheakamus (talk) 13:43, 18 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Parts of this are a tad SUPER technical - for a typical WP reader. edit

Given the fact this is an inherently technical article - I still would state that sections of this article - the part on calculation methods specifically - can be simplified. IMHO BeingObjective (talk) 16:21, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
