    Abstract: Methods and Systems for generating a centerline for an object in an image and computer readable medium are provided. The method includes receiving an image containing the object. The method also includes generating the centerline of the object by tracing a sequence of patches with a virtual agent. For each patch other than the initial patch, the method determines a current patch based on the position and action of the virtual agent at a previous patch. The method further determines a policy function and a value function based on the current patch using a trained learning network, which includes an encoder followed by a first learning network and a second learning network. The learning network is trained by maximizing a cumulative reward. The method also determines the action of the virtual agent at the current patch. Additionally, the method displays the centerline of the object.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for vessel image analysis. The method includes receiving a set of images along a vessel acquired by a medical imaging device, and determining a sequence of centerline points along the vessel and a sequence of image patches at the respective centerline points based on the set of images. The method further includes detecting plaques based on the sequence of image patches using a first learning network. The first learning network includes an encoder configured to extract feature maps based on the sequence of image patches and a plaque range generator configured to generate a start position and an end position of each plaque based on the extracted feature maps. The method also includes classifying each detected plaque and determining a stenosis degree for the detected plaque, using a second learning network reusing at least part of the parameters of the first learning network and the extracted feature maps.
