Imaging to identify beneficiaries of preventive medicine. Elevated calcium score with associated chronic total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in a 79-year-old male. a Axial unenhanced image shows calcifications in the LAD, in the circumflex (CX) coronary artery and in the right coronary artery (RCA). b The calcifications in the three coronary arteries are colour coded by the automated calcium detection algorithm. The total Agatston calcium score in this patient was 637, suggesting increased risk for a coronary event. c CT coronary angiography demonstrates an obstructive coronary stenosis due a mixed plaque in the proximal LAD (C1) and a chronic total occlusion in the mid LAD (C2)
