Coronary Artery Calcification Score: why CAC assessment has transformed cardiovascular risk detection
The coronary artery calcification score (CAC score) is one of the most established tools for assessing cardiovascular risk, but a score of zero doesn’t always mean healthy arteries. Learn how CAC scoring works, where its limitations lie, and how AI-powered platforms like BRIGHTER go beyond calcium alone, detecting non-calcified plaque, high-risk features and coronary blood flow for a more complete picture of coronary artery disease.
