[QUOTE="BrianTheElder, post: 1503265, member: 311044"] The consultant commented that the modern scanners get lots of frames/minute and so they get multiple x-sections to view in moving 3D images. It is the consultant that reviews the images, but the technicians seem to do the calcium score. The cholesterol shows up a 'slicks' at main artery bifurcations, possibly caused by turbulent flow. His concern is that when the slicks move, this causes lesions. I have read alternative views that the cholesterol gathers where there is already inflammation and it is the scabs over the lesions moving that cause the heart problems. It is quite sobering to know that these things are there and a real incentive to reduce them. But I keep coming back to; what is so bad about high cholesterol? Early days on this and LCHF, I think.
