Core Tip	Coronary artery calcium data and reporting system (CAC-DRS) is a new standardized reporting system for calcium scoring on computed tomography. Four CAC-DRS categories have been described ranging from CAC-DRS 0 to CAC-DRS 3 with progressively increasing cardiac disease risk. Better communication, clarity of details, clinical management recommendations, research and education are the major strengths. Few missing components, visual method, treatment recommendations and lack of clear necessity for a new reporting system are the major limitations.
