A Retrospective Pilot Study to Evaluate the Radiographic Prognosis of Calcified Carotid Atherosclerosis Based on Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Our study evaluated the progression of calcified carotid atherosclerosis in asymptomatic patients undergoing multiple CBCT scans. The findings indicate that there was a slight increase in the number, size, and anatomical area of calcification over time. Additionally, the introduction of a calcium scoring system allowed for more comprehensive assessment using the AGS, volume score, and density score derived from CBCT scan data.
