Summary: A coronary calcium score is a quick non-invasive method which determines the amount of calcium deposits in coronary artery plaques. An increased calcium score is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Certain developments háve recently occurred in the field of nuclear cardiology, with the possibility of
combining the myocardial perfusion stress test by single photon tomography (SPÉCT) and the assessment
of the calcium score by CT. The authors present two cases of asymptomatic risk patients examined with the
calcium scoring systém and SPÉCT. The position of the calcium score in the diagnostic algorithm is emphasised.
