• A mesenteric artery calcium score obtained in celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery has a high negative predictive value for chronic mesenteric ischemia and could serve as a screening tool. • Interobserver agreement of the mesenteric artery calcium score is excellent. • Scan and reconstruction parameters influence the mesenteric artery calcium score and warrant the development of a method to correct for these parameters.
