GE Healthcare SmartScore Brochure
Advanced imaging software
that detects, quantifies and
scores cardiac calcium plaque
burden. Instantly.
GE Healthcare
Overview
SmartScore 4.0 is designed to identify
the presence of regional and global
coronary artery calcification from a CT
scan, then measure and score the
results. Scores can be calculated using
a standard Agatston/Janowitz (AJ)
method. When correlated with a
patient’s personal information, the
score can yield an estimation of a
patients risk for coronary artery
disease.
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the most common health
issues in the world today. As with many conditions, early detection
and patient risk assessment are vital to preventing or minimizing
long-term negative effects. But many cases of this disease aren’t
diagnosed until the patient presents with symptoms. Conventional
procedures to assess risk can be expensive, time consuming, and
uncomfortable. An accessible, patient-friendly risk assessment
method could help clinicians devise a regimen for their patients that
might lessen the chance for serious cardiac events.
Non-invasive alternative to
conventional assessment
procedures.
Score can be correlated to age
group cohort to determine
patient’s risk per population
Provides information on
coronary artery wall calcium
plaque buildup.
Automatically detects calcium
and highlights it in green.
Streamlines workflow by
networking patient
demographics from CT scanner
directly to SmartScore
program.
Free Hand Trace lets you
outline specific ROIs.

Features
• AJ 130 scoring method uses
conventional Agatston/Janowitz
technique with a threshold of 130
HU which is adjusted to the
appropriate image slice thickness.
• Volume scoring calculates volumes
(mm3) of calcified plaque above the
130 HU threshold.
• Mass scoring calculates mass (mg)
of calcified plaque above the 130
HU threshold.
• Individual and aggregate scores
are computed for each artery type.
• Provides two methods of calcium
scoring.
• Customizable parameters can be
predefined based on your site’s
preferences.
• User interface streamlines your
workflow and reduces reading
time.
• Report options allow you to custom
tailor your reports and distribute
them in a variety of formats.
System Requirements
EKG monitor with recording device
and x-ray translucent lead cable.
Gantry hardware upgrade kit for
those scanner systems already in
operation.
Intended Use
SmartScore is a non-invasive
software option that can be used to
evaluate calcified plaques in the
coronary arteries, which may be a
risk factor for coronary artery
disease. SmartScore may be used to
monitor the progression/regression
of calcium in coronary arteries over
time, which may aid in the prognosis
of cardiac disease.
