spectral information about atenuation in different energies of X-ray photons is obtained during data acquisition. specific properties of the calcium enable to create data set without the density added to the tissues by calcium. The calcified part of the atherosclerotic plaques are not seen neither at the curved planar reconstruction nor at the three dimensional reconstructions
