    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.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device, a system, and a computer-readable medium for calculating vessel flow parameters based on angiography. In one implementation, the device includes a processor and a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the following operations: selecting a plurality of template frames from the angiographic images to generate a 3D model for a vessel; determining a start frame and an end frame in the plurality of angiographic images showing a contrast filling process; determining corresponding locations of front ends of the contrast in the start frame and the end frame in the 3D model of the vessel; calculating a vessel volume between the determined locations of the front ends in the 3D model; and determining an average blood flow rate based on the calculated volume, and a time interval between the start frame and the end frame.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining blood vessel conditions. The method includes receiving a sequence of image patches along a blood vessel path acquired by an image acquisition device. The method also includes predicting a sequence of blood vessel condition parameters on the blood vessel path by applying a trained deep learning model to the acquired sequence of image patches on the blood vessel path. The deep learning model includes a data flow neural network, a recursive neural network and a conditional random field model connected in series. The method further includes determining the blood vessel condition based on the sequence of blood vessel condition parameters. The disclosed systems and methods improve the calculation of the sequence of blood vessel condition parameters through an end-to-end training model, including improving the calculation speed, reducing manual intervention for feature extraction, increasing accuracy, and the like.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for automatically predicting a physiological parameter based on images of vessel. The method includes receiving the images of a vessel acquired by an imaging device. The method further includes determining a sequence of temporal features at a sequence of positions on a centerline of the vessel based on the images of the vessel, and determining a sequence of structure-related features at the sequence of positions on the centerline of the vessel. The method also includes fusing the sequence of structure-related features and the sequence of temporal features at the sequence of positions respectively. The method additionally includes determining the physiological parameter for the vessel at the sequence of positions, by using a sequence-to-sequence neural network configured to capture sequential dependencies among the sequence of fused features.
