About

To evaluate intravascular attenuation of the coronary arteries and image quality in an individualized scan and CM injection protocol whereas both scan and injection parameters are tailored to the individual patient in a North American, European and Asian patient population.

To evaluate the radiation dose and contrast media dose of this individualized approach for CCTA in an American, European and Chinese patient population.

To evaluate the injection parameters required for an average American, European and Chinese patient population.
