    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.
