  • Patent number: 12211203
    Abstract: The disclosure purposes to provide an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based system for diagnosing a high risk lesion such as a vulnerable atheromatous plaque by using an artificial intelligence model through deep learning. A deep learning-based diagnostic method of diagnosing a high risk lesion of a coronary artery includes: acquiring an OCT image of a coronary artery lesion of a patient; extracting a first feature of a thin cap from the OCT image; setting a region of interest included in the OCT image on a basis of the first feature; and determining whether the region of interest includes a high risk lesion.

  • Patent number: 12001940
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying the predicted type of one or more microorganisms. In one aspect, a system comprises a phase-contrast microscope and a microorganism classification system. The phase-contrast microscope is configured to generate a three-dimensional quantitative phase image of one or more microorganisms. The microorganism classification system is configured to process the three-dimensional quantitative phase image using a neural network to generate a neural network output characterizing the microorganisms, and thereafter identify the predicted type of the microorganisms using the neural network output.

  • Publication number: 20240112343
    Abstract: A deep learning-based stent prediction method including: setting as a region of interest, a region in which a procedure is to be performed among blood vessel regions of a target patient, and obtaining a first intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image, which is a preprocedural IVUS image of the region of interest, obtaining a plurality of first IVUS cross-sectional images into which the first IVUS image is divided at predetermined intervals, extracting feature information about procedure information of the target patient, obtaining mask image information in which a blood vessel boundary and an inner wall boundary are distinguished from each other, with respect to the plurality of first IVUS cross-sectional images, and predicting progress of a stent procedure containing a postprocedural area of a stent for the target patient, by inputting, into an artificial intelligence model, the plurality of first IVUS cross-sectional images, the feature information, and the mask image information.

  • Publication number: 20240104725
    Abstract: A method of analyzing a plaque tissue component based on deep learning, the method including: extracting a plurality of first intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) cross-sectional images into which a first IVUS image that is a preprocedural IVUS image of a patient is divided at predetermined intervals; labeling each of the plurality of first IVUS cross-sectional images by using label indices corresponding to plaque tissue components to form labeled images, performing image conversion to obtain a polar coordinate image through which a distribution of tissue components for each angle is identifiable by performing a coordinate transformation based on the labeled images, extracting a label vector for each angle based on the polar coordinate image, and outputting output data obtained by quantifying the tissue components for each angle by using an artificial intelligence model that is trained by using, as training data, the label vector for each angle.
