Abstract: A computer-implemented method is for evaluating a CT data set of a coronary region of a patient regarding perivascular tissue of at least one target blood vessel. In an embodiment, the computer-implemented method automatically determines a centerline of at least the at least one target blood vessel in the CT data set; defines a region of interest as including at least one defined outer region radius around an extension interval of the centerline, the outer region radius being relatively larger than a radius of the at least one target blood vessel; and calculates at least one quantitative value from CT data in the region of interest.

Abstract: One or more example embodiments of the invention relates in one aspect to a computer-implemented method for providing a stroke information. The method includes receiving examination data, the examination data comprising computed tomography imaging data of an examination area of a patient, the examination area of the patient comprising at least one brain region, the at least one brain region being affected by a stroke; adjusting a causal model based on the computed tomography imaging data to obtain an adjusted causal model, wherein the adjusted causal model models a first variable as a first cause for an appearance of the examination area of the patient; receiving a first value for the first variable; generating the stroke information based on the adjusted causal model and the first value for the first variable; and providing the stroke information.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for evaluating a three-dimensional angiography dataset of a blood vessel tree of a patient, comprises determining a variant information describing a belonging to at least one anatomical variant class of a plurality of anatomical variant classes relating to anatomical variants of the blood vessel tree based on a comparison of angiography information of the angiography dataset to reference information describing at least one of the anatomical variant classes.

Abstract: A method, preferably a computer implemented method, and system are for providing output data associated with a medical imaging dataset of a patient, the medical imaging dataset including image data of a region of an anatomy of a patient including a plurality of coronary arteries. The output data is a significance score associated with a medical imaging data set of a patient. The method, in the most general terms, includes receiving input data, e.g. via a first interface, generating output data by applying algorithmic operations to the input data, and providing the output data, e.g. via a second interface.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system are for parametrizing a function including a processing algorithm and a representation generator, the representation generator being designed to generate at least one representation. In an embodiment, the method includes using an optimization algorithm to determine the processing algorithm and the at least one representation parametrization. The optimization algorithm optimizes a measure for the performance of the processing algorithm when operating on a set of training representations generated by applying the representation generator to training medical image datasets, by varying on the one hand the content of the at least one representation parametrization and/or the number of used representation parametrizations and on the other hand the processing algorithm and the algorithm parameters.
