question I have had a PET scan recently and CTCA scan last year.
Do both of these give the same type of CAC score? i have noticed that in PET scan it is labelled as Agatston score. Just a bit surprised why they are so different.
The Agatston score is 35, while the CAC score with CTCA was 7?
I am on statins so trying to understand why it has gone up but maybe the calculation is different.
