ABSTRACT:
Method and system for using segmentation and three-dimensional image-processing techniques of a method to create an automatic method to detect coronary artery calcification deposits and identify their location with respect to a major coronary artery. Finally, different scoring algorithms can be applied to generate calcium scores such as Agatston Janovitz, Mass, and Volume. A total score and a more detailed score can be generated based on the major arteries such as right coronary artery, left anterior descending artery, or left circumflex artery to be incorporated into the patient report.
