Voxar Calscreen 2.1 is designed to detect, quantify, and report the presence of calcium plaque in the coronary arteries.

Calscreen 2.1 works with electron-beam tomography scanners and multislice or helical CTs. The package, which runs on a standard PC, automatically highlights calcified regions in red as part of multiplanar reformatted (MPR) and 3D views of the heart.
