Cardiac CT has been widely used for detection and quantification of Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) usingAgatston score [1,2]. Total CAC score has been conspicuously validated as a marker for cardiovascular risk; however the degree of luminal narrowing is only weakly correlated with the amount of calcification [3]. Specificity of CAC scoring for obstructive disease could be improved by differentiating specific morphological patterns of calcification, Shell-like and diffuse were associated with more severe stenosis and more non-calcified plaque components than nodular pattern [4,5]. It has been established that non-calcified and mixed plaques are more rupture-prone, therefore, more efforts focus on early identification of patients with “vulnerable” lesions for sake of primary prevention [6-9]. Using IVUS, an association was observed between acute myocardial infarction and spotty calcified deposits within an arc of ≤ 90° in culprit lesions [10]. In 2007, Motoyama et al. [11,12] introduced the term “spotty calcification”, defined as
