Table 3.
Image quality and assessability of coronary vessels are given, considering the overall frequency of diagnostic coronary vessels regarding any reason of image degradation (% Diagnostic), frequency of diagnostic coronary vessels considering only calcified coronary plaques (% Diagnostic CAC), and frequency of diagnostic coronary vessels considering only movement artefacts and low contrast (% Diagnostic Mov.).
