Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-based calcification scores are limited by low sensitivity and inter-observer agreement. The Peripheral Arterial Calcium Scoring System (PACSS) assesses the severity of target lesion calcification. The newly introduced modified PACSS (mPACSS) also evaluates target vessel calcification. This study aimed to assess the inter- and intra-observer reliability of PACSS and mPACSS on computed tomography angiography (CTA) in (infra)popliteal endovascular interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A random sample of 50 limbs from the prospective multicenter Dutch Chronic Lower Limb-Threatening Ischemia Registry (THRILLER) were included. Three experienced independent raters scored PACSS on CTA. Three months later, one blinded rater assessed the same 50 CTA scans, keeping track of assessment time. The reliability of the original 5-step PACSS, a simplified binary PACSS (0\u20132 vs 3\u20134) and the 7-step mPACSS were tested using Cohen\u2019s and Fleiss\u2019 kappa statistics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In total, 50 limbs (mean age 70.1\u2009\u00b1\u200911.0, 29 men) with 41 popliteal and 40 infrapopliteal lesions were scored.
