ABSTRACT:
A method for volume scoring a concentration of calcification within a region of interest includes receiving a value for a first calcium lesion volume based on the concentration of calcification within the region of interest, determining an intensity value of the concentration of calcification within the region of interest, calculating the slope of a regression line based on the determined intensity value, and calculating a second calcium lesion volume based on the first calcium lesion volume and the calculated slope of the regression line.
