Table 3 coronary artery calcium score values

Parameters (mean ± SD)	gCCT	ngCCT	Delta (absolute)	Delta	P	r	R²
Volume	418.1 ± 746.5	332.0 ± 596.9	-86.1 ± 263.8	-21%	< 0.05	0.947	0.896
Mass	88.9 ± 151.2	77.9 ± 140.5	-11.1 ± 35.5	-12%	< 0.05	0.973	0.946
Agatston	480.8 ± 853.7	427.7 ± 776.3	-53.1 ± 188.4	-11%	< 0.05	0.978	0.956

The Table shows the mean values of CACS Volume, Mass, and Agatston score for the study population. On average gCCT shows CACS values significantly higher with a high correlation to ngCCT. The percentage underestimation (delta) of ngCCT of Agatston score is -11%. CACS: Coronary artery calcium score; gCCT: ECG gated cardiac computed tomography; ngCCT: Non-gated chest computed tomography.
