Abstract: The present invention, in one form, is a method for generating a calcification score in a CT image data using a scoring algorithm. In accordance with one embodiment of the algorithm, a calcium score is determined by identifying a scorable region in the image data, defining at least one region of interest in the scorable region, and determining a density score. After determining a calcium score for each region of interest, a total calcium score is determined. In addition, to correct for unequal and/or non-contiguous spacing of the slices of image data, a weighted total calcium score is determined.
