Semi-Automated Software to Assess Vascular Calcification. Computed tomography of a study patient showing vascular calcification in the abdominal aorta on axial view (Panel A). The area of vascular calcification is highlighted (pink) and manually assigned to the abdominal aorta territory (Panel B). An Agatston score is calculated as a weighted score based upon Hounsfield units of each pixel multiplied by the summed area (in square millimeters) of calcification within each arterial territory.
