Recent research has illuminated the role of total coronary atherosclerotic plaque activity across the entire coronary arterial tree in predicting patient-level clinical outcomes. Vessel-level coronary atherosclerotic plaque activity was assessed using coronary 18 F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography (PET). 3.72; P = 0.013).

This article is part 2 of a series on cardiac CT. If you have not yet read it, I suggest doing so before reading the remainder of this article. I've included the article here. A CTCA provides much more anatomical detail and can identify advanced plaque often missed by CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score scans alone.
