Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, device and computer readable medium involving receiving image data of one or more coronary arteries, generating a binary segmentation indicating presence of calcium in the one or more coronary arteries from the image data, generating a branch density of the one or more coronary arteries, and assigning a coronary artery label from the branch density to the binary segmentation such that at least one indication of presence of calcium of the binary segmentation is labeled as present in a specific one of the one or more coronary arteries.
Claims20
A method implemented by one or more processors, a memory, and one or more programs, the one or more programs being stored in the memory, the program comprising one or more modules each corresponding to a set of instructions, the one or more processors being configured to execute the instructions, and the method comprising:
- receiving image data;
- generating data indicating presence of calcium in one or more coronary arteries from the image data;
- generating, in parallel with generating the data, a branch density of the one or more coronary arteries;
- and
- assigning a coronary artery label from the branch density to a specific one of the one or more coronary arteries.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store computer program code;
- and
- at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and operate according to the computer program code, the computer program code comprising:
- receiving code configured to cause the at least one processor to receive image data;
- first generating code configured to cause the at least one processor to generate a data indicating presence of calcium in one or more coronary arteries from the image data;
- second generating code configured to cause the at least one processor to generate, in parallel with generating the data, a branch density of the one or more coronary arteries;
- and
- assigning code configured to cause the at least one processor to assign a coronary artery label from the branch density to a specific one of the one or more coronary arteries.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive image data;
- generate a data indicating presence of calcium in one or more coronary arteries from the image data;
- generate, in parallel with generating the data, a branch density of the one or more coronary arteries;
- and
- assign a coronary artery label from the branch density to a specific one of the one or more coronary arteries.
