Coronary artery calcifications on breast cancer radiotherapy planning CT scans and cardiovascular risk: What do patients want to know?
Background: Coronary artery calcifications (CAC) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which can be automatically quantified on routine breast radiotherapy planning computed tomography (CT) scans. Around 8% of patients have (very) high CAC scores and corresponding increased risks of...
