  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11471058
    Abstract: Provided are a diagnostic device and a diagnostic method for predicting fractional flow reserve (FFR) and diagnosing coronary artery lesions via a coronary angiography-based machine learning algorithm. A deep learning-based diagnostic method for diagnosing an ischemic lesion includes: obtaining an angiography image of a patient's blood vessel; extracting a region of interest (ROI) from the angiography image; acquiring diameter information of the blood vessel in the ROI; extracting morphological features of the blood vessel based on the diameter information; and obtaining a predictive FFR value by inputting the morphological features to an artificial intelligence (AI) model and determining whether a lesion is an ischemic lesion.

  • Patent number: 11302094
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for segmenting a normal organ and/or tumor structure based on artificial intelligence for radiation treatment planning. The system may include a data collection unit configured to collect a radiotherapy structure (RT-structure) file including a computerized tomography (CT) image of a patient and contour information of an area of interest for radiation treatment, a pre-processing unit configured to extract the contour information from the RT-structure file and generate a binary image based on the extracted contour information, and a model training unit configured to learn parameters for generating a segmentation map indicative of the area of interest using a deep learning algorithm, based on the binary image, and generate a trained model based on the learnt parameter.

  • Publication number: 20190152312
    Abstract: A structure for a high-pressure vessel is provided to inhibit a gap between a plastic liner and a plastic sealing member due to the plastic sealing member being combined with the plastic liner by thermal bonding, thereby preventing the leakage of high-pressure gas to the gap between the plastic liner and the plastic sealing member. In addition, as the plastic liner and the plastic sealing member made of the same materials are combined with each other by the thermal bonding, use of the conventional lower fastening member is unnecessary, and further, use of a rubber sealing member for maintaining airtightness is unnecessary. Thus productivity via reduction in the number of components, a weight, a cost, and man-hours is improved.
