PREDICTION METHOD FOR HEALTHY RADIUS OF BLOOD VESSEL PATH, PREDICTION METHOD FOR CANDIDATE STENOSIS OF BLOOD VESSEL PATH, AND BLOOD VESSEL STENOSIS DEGREE PREDICTION DEVICE

摘要

A computer-implemented method for predicting a blood vessel stenosis is disclosed. The method may include extracting a blood vessel path and its centerline based on the image of the blood vessel. The method may further include determining a candidate stenosis for the blood vessel path and identifying image blocks along the centerline of the blood vessel path within a range of candidate stenosis for the blood vessel path determined based on the candidate stenosis. The method may also include determining a degree of stenosis for the blood vessel path by applying a trained learning network comprising a convolutional neural network and a recurrent neural network on the image blocks within the range of candidate stenosis.
