The role of coronary artery calcium scoring in the prediction of coronary artery disease based on non-contrast non-cardiac chest CT scans in airline pilots
CACS assessed using NCCT was significantly associated with CAD-RADS category 3 or higher, as confirmed by CCTA, which indicates that it may serve as a robust predictor for diagnosing significant CAD among airline pilots.
