Abstract: A system including a hierarchical analytics framework that can utilize a first set of machine learned algorithms to identify and quantify a set of biological properties utilizing medical imaging data is provided. System can segment the medical imaging data based on the quantified biological properties to delineate existence of perivascular adipose tissue. The system can also segment the medical imaging data based on the quantified biological properties to determine a lumen boundary and/or determine a cap thickness based on a minimum distance between the lumen boundary and LRNC regions.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for structuring and using information pertinent to in vivo biomarkers, specifically quantitative imaging biomarkers, using semantic web technology for personalized medicine and discovery science. It supports the development and application of statistical evidence at a level of granularity and sophistication more closely tied to the complexity of the disease itself and its underlying biology, including technology linking multiple biological scales, than has previously been eedisclosed. It provides data and computational services to analyze quantitative imaging and non-imaging data, coupled with multi-scale modeling to elucidate pre-symptomatic and clinical disease processes. It may be used to assess technical or analytical performance for its own sake and/or to further annotate the quantitative analysis.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for improved image analysis via novel deblurring and segmentation techniques of image data. These techniques advantageously account for and incorporate segmentation of biological analytes into a deblurring process for an image. Thus, the deblurring of the image may advantageously be optimized for enabling identification and quantitative analysis of one or more biological analytes based on underlying biological models for those analytes. The techniques described herein provide for significant improvements in the image deblurring and segmentation process which reduces signal noise and improves the accuracy of the image. In particular, the system and methods described herein advantageously utilize unique optimization and tissue characteristics image models which are informed by the underlying biology being analyzed, (for example by a biological model for the analytes). This provides for targeted deblurring and segmentation which is optimized for the applied image analytics.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for classifying possibly vulnerable plaques from sets of DCE-MRI images includes receiving a set of MRI slice images obtained at respectively different times, where each slice image includes voxels representative of at least one region of interest (ROI). The images are processed to determine the boundaries of the ROIs and the voxels within the identified boundaries in corresponding regions of the images from each time period are processed to extract kinetic texture features. The kinetic texture features are then used in a classification process which classifies the ROIs as vulnerable or stable.
