The aim of this study was to determine mono-energetic (monoE) level-specific photon-counting CT (PCCT) Agatston thresholds, to yield monoE level independent Agatston scores validated with a dynamic cardiac phantom. Also, we examined the potential of dose reduction for PCCT coronary artery calcium (CAC) studies, when reconstructed at low monoE levels. Theoretical CAC monoE thresholds were calculated with data from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) database. Artificial CAC with three densities were moved in a
