Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer program, comprising:
acquiring a target image for a coronary artery and myocardium before contrast enhancement;
identifying the coronary artery included in the target image by using an artificial neural network; and
calculating a coronary artery calcium score based on the identified coronary artery, wherein the artificial neural network includes a command for allowing a processor to perform a method for calculating a coronary artery calcium score in which training is performed based on a training database via alignment between a pre-acquired image of a coronary artery and myocardium before contrast enhancement and a pre-acquired image of a coronary artery and myocardium after contrast enhancement, and
wherein the calculating of the coronary artery calcium score includes:
when identifying a calcified region in the target image, identifying a first region corresponding to the identified coronary artery in the identified calcified region, and calculating the coronary artery calcium score for the first region, and
when identifying a coronary artery region in the target image, identifying a second region corresponding to a calcified region in the identified coronary artery region, and calculating the coronary artery calcium score for the second region.
