Measurements: Contrast Intensity = 404 ± 90 CTU; Area = 7.23 ± 0.41 mm2; Volume = 21.70 ± 1.23 mm3.
| Original image with ROI-2 | Enhanced 7x ROI-2 with annotations for measurement |

Measurements: Contrast Intensity = 219 ± 34 CTU; Area = 7.12 ± 0.41 mm2; Volume = 21.35 ± 1.22 mm3.
| Original image with ROI-3 | Enhanced 7x ROI-3 with annotations for measurement |
 |
 |
Measurements: Contrast Intensity = 256 ± 57 CTU; Area = 23.42 ± 0.74 mm2; Volume = 70.27 ± 2.21 mm3.
| Original image with ROI-4 | Enhanced 7x ROI-4 with annotations for measurement |
 |

Measurements: Contrast Intensity = 215 ± 45 CTU; Area = 5.17 ± 0.35 mm2; Volume = 15.51 ± 1.04 mm3.
Total Volume = 128.83 ± 1.43 mm3.
Calcium Scoring may be defined by the volume in mm3 of calcified coronary arteries of greater than the threshold of 130 HU (or CTU) in a 3mm slice (refer to publications #22 & #23 or "A Rosetta Stone for Coronary Calcium Risk Stratification: Agatston, Volume, and Mass Scores in 11490 Individuals" by J.A. Rumberger et.al. AJR: 181,743-748, September, 2003).
The Calcium Scoring in this case study of 3mm image slice is therefore measured by the volume of 128.83 ± 1.43 mm3.
