<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[CT scan]]s using state of the art higher resolution spiral, or the higher speed [[Electron beam tomography|EBT]], machines have been the most effective method for detecting calcification present in plaque. However, the atheroma have to be advanced enough to have relatively large areas of calcification within them to create large enough regions of ~130 [[Hounsfield scale|Hounsfield units]] which a CT scanner's software can recognize as distinct from the other surrounding tissues. Typically, such regions start occurring within the heart arteries about 2–3 decades after atheroma start developing. The presence of smaller, spotty plaques may actually be more dangerous for progressing to acute [[myocardial infarction]].</div>FuzzyBot
