Contemporary reconstruction algorithms yield the potential of reducing radiation exposure by denoising coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) datasets. We aimed to assess the reliability of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) measurements with an advanced adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR-CV) and model-based adaptive filter (MBAF2) designed for a dedicated cardiac CT scanner by comparing them to the gold-standard filtered back projection (FBP) calculations. We analyzed non-contrast coronary CT images of 404 consecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated CCTA. CACS and total calcium volume were quantified and compared on three reconstructions (FBP, ASIR-CV, and MBAF2+ASIR-CV). Patients were classified into risk categories based on CACS and the rate of reclassification was assessed. Patients were categorized into the following groups based on FBP reconstructions: 172 zero CACS, 38 minimal (1-10), 87 mild (11-100), 57 moderate (101-400), and 50 severe (400<). Overall, 19/404 (4.7%) patients were reclassified into a lower-risk group with MBAF2+ASIR-CV, while 8 additional patients (27/404, 6.7%) shifted downward when applying stand-alone ASIR-CV. The total calcium volume with FBP was 7.0 (0.0-133.25) mm3, 4.0 (0.0-103.5) mm3 using ASIR-CV, and 5.0 (0.0-118.5) mm3 with MBAF2+ASIR-CV (all comparisons p < 0.001). The concomitant use of ASIR-CV and MBAF2 may allow the reduction of noise levels while maintaining similar CACS values as FBP measurements.
