The present invention provides methods and software for improving thresholding of coronary calcium scoring. In exemplary embodiments, the present invention applies an automatic search algorithm to slice images of an image scan to generate an individualized signal threshold for each particular patient. In other embodiments, an individualized signal threshold is generated for each slice image of the image scan.
