(a) CAC in LAD missed by the automatic algorithm that resulted in underestimation of CVD risk. The CAC lesion appears blurred, probably due to cardiac motion and large pixel size. (b) Calcification in the ascending aorta near the right coronary ostium detected as CAC by the automatic method. This large false positive lesion caused overestimation of CVD risk categorization.
