New Three-Dimensional Echocardiography Method to Quantify Aortic Valve Calcification

The invention relates to a method for aortic valve calcification determination, said method comprising the steps of: - detecting an aortic valve on a 3D medical image acquired by a non-invasive, non-radiative medical imaging technique; - segmenting the 3D medical image in a thickness in a plurality of 2D medical slices; - determining a region on each 2D medical slices; - thresholding said region on each 2D medical slices, said thresholding is configured to generate 2D calcification binary images discriminating calcification regions from normal regions; and - determining an aortic valve calcification volume. The invention also relates to a system for aortic valve calcification determination.
