There is great interest in deriving the calcium score from routine chest CTs, which are far more common.
“Despite these recommendations, a dedicated coronary calcium scoring CT is not yet covered by Medicare and most US insurance companies, and for this reason, there is a great deal of interest in deriving the calcium score from routine chest CTs, which are far more common8,28,29.”
From Deep convolutional neural networks to predict cardiovascular risk from computed tomography (2021) · cites this paper as [29]
In the main text (page unavailable), the paper supports assessing and reporting coronary artery calcium on lung cancer screening CT. It does not say that routine chest CTs are far more common, or that their frequency is the reason for interest in deriving calcium scores from them. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredA dedicated coronary calcium scoring CT is not yet covered by Medicare and most US insurance companies.

From Deep convolutional neural networks to predict cardiovascular risk from computed tomography (2021) · cites this paper as [29]
The paper discusses CMS coverage of lung cancer screening CT and the use of those scans to assess coronary calcium (main text; page unavailable). It does not address whether Medicare or most US insurers cover dedicated coronary calcium scoring CT; searches for that coverage claim found no passage. (LLM, conf=0.74)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
