CTA adapted Leaman-score is calculated by multiplying the weighing factors regarding plaque composition, stenosis severity and location for a given segment. Overall score is calculated by summing up scores for all segments. RCA, right coronary artery; R-PDA, posterior descending artery originating from right coronary; R-PLB, posterolateral branch originating from right coronary; LAD, left anterior descending; IM, intermediate branch; LCx, left circumflex; OM, obtuse marginal; L-PDA, posterior descending artery originating from left coronary; L-PLB, posterolateral branch originating from left coronary.
