  • Publication number: 20240119611
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image registration method and a model training method thereof. The image registration method comprises obtaining a reference image and a floating image to be registered, performing image preprocessing on the reference image and the floating image, performing non-rigid registration on the preprocessed reference image and floating image to obtain a registration result image, and outputting the registration result image. The image preprocessing comprises performing, on the reference image and the floating image, coarse-to-fine rigid registration based on iterative closest point registration and mutual information registration. The non-rigid registration uses a combination of a correlation coefficient and a mean squared error between the reference image and the registration result image as a loss function.

  • Patent number: 11744472
    Abstract: The present approach relates to determining a reference value based on image data that includes a non-occluded vascular region (such as the ascending aorta in a cardiovascular context). This reference value is compared on a pixel-by pixel basis with the CT values observed in the other vasculature regions. With this in mind, and in a cardiovascular context, the determined FFR value for each pixel is the ratio of CT value in the vascular region of interest to the reference CT value.

  • Publication number: 20230252645
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a vascular plaque extraction apparatus and method. The method includes: acquiring a computed tomography angiography (CTA) image; performing preprocessing on the CTA image; performing a vascular lumen segmentation on the preprocessed CTA image to obtain a vascular lumen image; performing a dilation operation on the vascular lumen image to obtain a dilated region of interest (ROI), and performing a voxel-based radiomics feature extraction on the dilated ROI to obtain at least one voxel feature map; and extracting vascular plaques based on a preset threshold corresponding to the at least one voxel feature map and the at least one voxel feature map. According to the embodiments of the present application, the vascular plaques can be quickly and accurately extracted from the CTA image, providing a reference for an accurate quantitative analysis and auxiliary diagnosis and treatment.
