Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for analyzing an image sequence of a periodic physiological activity, a system, and a medium. The method includes receiving the image sequence from an imaging device, and the image sequence has a plurality of images. The method further includes identifying at least one feature portion in a selected image, which moves responsive to the periodic physiological activity. The method also includes detecting, by a processor, the corresponding feature portions in other images of the image sequence and determining, by the processor, a phase of a the selected image in the image sequence based on the motion of the feature portion.

Abstract: Method, system, device and medium for determining a blood flow velocity in a vessel are provided. An example method includes receiving a 3D model of the vessel, which is reconstructed based on X-ray angiography images of the vessel. The method further includes specifying a segment of the 3D model by a start landmark and a termination landmark. Moreover, the method includes determining the blood flow velocity based on length of the segment and perfusion time for the segment by normalizing the blood flow velocity to correspond to a cardiac cycle. The method has a better accuracy in calculating blood flow velocity, and requires no additional modalities other than the original X-ray angiogram sequences used to visualize coronary arteries.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for automatically predicting a physiological parameter based on images of vessel. The method includes receiving the images of a vessel acquired by an imaging device. The method further includes determining a sequence of temporal features at a sequence of positions on a centerline of the vessel based on the images of the vessel, and determining a sequence of structure-related features at the sequence of positions on the centerline of the vessel. The method also includes fusing the sequence of structure-related features and the sequence of temporal features at the sequence of positions respectively. The method additionally includes determining the physiological parameter for the vessel at the sequence of positions, by using a sequence-to-sequence neural network configured to capture sequential dependencies among the sequence of fused features.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, storage medium, and system for analyzing an image sequence of a periodic physiological activity. In one implementation, the method includes receiving the image sequence acquired by an imaging device, the image sequence having a plurality of frames, and identifying a feature point in a first frame.

Each motion vector for the feature point is determined based on respective locations of corresponding feature points in frames adjacent to the first frame. The method also includes determining a motion magnitude profile based on the determined motion vectors and determining a phase of each frame in the image sequence based on the motion magnitude profile.
