  • Publication number: 20190139219
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assessing the presence of functionally significant stenosis in one or more coronary arteries, further known as a severity of vessel obstruction. The methods and systems can implement a prediction phase that comprises segmenting at least a portion of a contrast enhanced volume image data set into data segments corresponding to wall regions of the target organ, and analysing the data segments to extract features that are indicative of an amount of perfusion experiences by wall regions of the target organ. The methods and systems can obtain a feature-perfusion classification (FPC) model derived from a training set of perfused organs, classify the data segments based on the features extracted and based on the FPC model, and provide, as an output, a prediction indicative of a severity of vessel obstruction based on the classification of the features.
