| 摘要 |
Methods and systems for computer assisted detection of arterial calcification, for example in the abdominal artery, by using measurements such as those conventionally taken with a dual x-ray energy bone densitometers at single energy or dual energy, or by a CT/QCT device for a localization of scout view, and for using the calcification assessment either alone or with other information to assess and report a risk of a cardiovascular event, alone or together with other information such as BMD and vertebral fracture risk.
