Abstract:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Automatic detection of Abdominal Aortic Calcification (AAC). More than 55,000 people world-wide die from CVD each day. Calcification of the abdominal aorta is an established marker of asymptomatic CVD. It can be observed on scans taken for vertebral fracture assessment from Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry machines. Assessment of AAC and timely intervention through diet and nutrition may help to reinforce public health messages around CVD risk factors and improve disease management, reducing the global health burden related to CVDs. I will talk about novel and reliable frameworks for automated assessment of AAC from DXA scans; mimicking the human scoring process.<\/p>
