Abrégé
Disclosed herein is a system for analysing arterial calcium. The system identifies calcium lesions, within an organ boundary, from Non-Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) images. A feature learning model is then used to generate a set of images based on an origin of each calcium lesion in the NCCT images and orthogonal axes through that origin and to learn, for each image in the set, calcium image features, inferring detection or otherwise of a calcium lesion in the respective image. A feature vector comprising the calcium image features is then formed for each image, and the feature vectors are concatenated to facilitate generation of a prediction for each calcium lesion, of an artery in which the respective calcium lesion is located. Finally, a scorer predicts a calcium score based on the predictions generated from each calcium lesion.
