syngo Calcium Scoring
181
Hint: Once you have identified calcium plaques in the
coronary arteries you improve the image display in
both the overview and the detail segment by switching
back to the MIP Thin projection.
2.2 Marking
For easier selection when modifying and deleting cal-
cifications, enlarge the images.
Evaluation with Calcium Scoring is based on automatic
determination of the amount of calcium in the
detected coronary lesions. Evaluation must therefore
be preceded by precise marking of the lesions in the
individual coronary arteries.
To mark calcifications, you have to edit the images in
segment 1. Calcium Scoring offers 2 methods for
marking:
– Set seed points for region growing (connected ana-
tomic structures above the given threshold are filled
and marked with selection lesion).
– Draw a freehand ROI around a lesion.
After you have pressed Pick Lesion or Freehand ROI
button, the Artery Labels dialog box is displayed.
