  • Patent number: 11399779
    Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein facilitate system-independent quantitative perfusion measurements. One example embodiment is a method, comprising: accessing 4D (Four Dimensional) perfusion imaging data of a tissue, where the 4D perfusion imaging data comprises a plurality of 3D (Three Dimensional) stacks of perfusion imaging data over time; performing at least one of artifact reduction or post-processing on the 4D perfusion image data to generate processed 4D perfusion image data; computing one or more quantitative perfusion parameters for the tissue based at least in part on the processed 4D perfusion image data; and outputting a visual representation of the one or more quantitative perfusion parameters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 2, 2022
    Assignee: Case Western Reserve University
    Inventors: David L. Wilson, Brendan L. Eck, Jacob Levi, Hao Wu, Rachid Fahmi
  • Patent number: 11386555
    Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein facilitate employing a pretrained model to determine risk(s) of adverse event(s) based on Computed Tomography (CT) image volume(s) of an artery and/or training a model to determine such risk(s). Example embodiments can determine risk based on territory-specific calcium score(s) and/or intensity/morphological/location features discussed herein. Various embodiments can determine risk(s) based on a single CT image volume and/or change(s) in CT image volumes taken over a series of time points.
