Summary

This video demonstrates the use of a novel graphical tool for measuring the spatially weighted calcium score (SWCS), an alternative to the Agatston score, for quantifying coronary artery calcification. The graphical tool computes SWCS based on image data from gated cardiac computed tomography and user-defined paths of the coronary arteries.
