  • 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.
