Coronary segmental image quality was assessed by two experienced CCTA readers by consensus using an 18-segment SCCT model on a 5-point Likert scale (1 ​= ​non-interpretable; 2 ​= ​poor; 3 ​= ​acceptable; 4 ​= ​good; 5 ​= ​excellent). Measures of radiation dose, medication administration, and time required for patient scanning were compared. Logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with patient-level reduction in image quality (IQ) and with repeat scans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Post-process change, there was a significant reduction in the median overall patient appointment [phase 0: 95 (75-125) min vs. phase 1: 68 (52-88) min and phase 2: 72 (59-90) min; P ​&lt; ​0.001] and scan times [phase 0: 13 (10-16) min vs. phase 1: 8 (6-13) min and phase 2: 9 (7-13) min; P ​&lt; ​0.001]. Median IQ score in both post-process change phases was 4 (4-5) compared to a median score of 5 (4-5) pre-process change (P for comparison &lt;0.001). The majority of segments post-process change had \"good\" IQ (Phase 1 segmental IQ scores: 5 ​= ​36.7 ​%, 4 ​= ​46.8 ​%, 3 ​= ​13 ​%, 2 ​= ​2.6 ​%, 1 ​= ​0.9 ​%; Phase 2 segmental IQ scores: 5 ​= ​26 ​%, 4 ​= ​49.7 ​%, 3 ​= ​16.3 ​%, 2 ​= ​6.1 ​%, 1 ​= ​1.9 ​%), whereas pre-process change, the majority of segments had \"excellent\" IQ (Phase 0 segmental IQ scores: 5 ​= ​56 ​%, 4 ​= ​34.3 ​%, 3 ​= ​7.5 ​%, 2 ​= ​1.8 ​%, 1 ​= ​0.4 ​%) There was no significant increase in non-interpretable scans at the patient level. The 22 ​% re-scan rate in phase 1 (vs. 6 ​% in phase 0, P ​= ​.002) improved to 15 ​% in phase 2.

The catchment population was 907,675, with 619,514 individuals of whom 69.7 ​% identified as White. Compared to the catchment population, there was a disproportionately higher referral rate for Whites than Non-Whites. The referral index for Whites was higher than Non-Whites (1.2 versus 0.6, p ​< ​0.001)). This pattern was consistent across all racial minorities and age categories.
