    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer-readable storage media, for lipid detection by identifying fibrotic caps in medical images of blood vessels. A method includes receiving one or more input images of a blood vessel and processing the one or more input images using a machine learning model trained to identify locations of fibrotic caps in blood vessels. The machine learning model is trained using a plurality of training images each annotated with locations of one or more fibrotic caps. A method includes identifying and characterizing fibrotic caps of lipid pools based on differences in radial signal intensities measured at different locations of an input image. A system can generate one or more output images having segments that are visually annotated representing predicted locations of fibrotic caps covering lipidic plaques.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for dynamically visualizing the delivery of a device within a vessel by correlating at least one first extraluminal image with second extraluminal images. The extraluminal images may be correlated based on motion features, without the use of other sensors or timestamps. The first extraluminal image may be a high dose contrast x-ray angiogram (“XA”) and the second extraluminal images may be low dose contrast XAs. The high dose contrast XA may be used to generate a vessel map. The low dose contrast XAs may be taken during the delivery of a device, such as a balloon, stent, probe, or the like. Correlating the high dose XA and low dose XA based on motion features allows for the vessel map to be overlaid on the low dose XA to provide the physician visualization of where the device is within the vessel tree in real time.
