### Usage
```bash
bin/C2C aortic_calcium -i <path/to/input/folder>
bin/C2C aortic_calcium -i <path/to/input/folder> -o <path/to/input/folder> --threshold
```
- input_path should contain a DICOM series or subfolders that contain DICOM series, or a nifti file.
- Aortic calcifications are detected through an adaptive threshold in a dilated aorta mask
- The input path should contain a DICOM series or subfolders that contain DICOM series, or a nifti file.
- The threshold can be controlled with --threshold and be either an integer HU threshold, "adataptive" or "agatson".
- If "agatson" is used, agatson score is calculated and the a threshold of 130 HU is used
- Aortic calcifications are divided into abdominal and thoracic at the T12 level
- Segmentation masks for aortic calcium, the dilated aorta mask and the T12 seperation plane are saved in ./segmentation_masks/
- Metrics on an aggregated and individual level for the calcifications are written to .csv files in ./metrics/
