Providing plaque data for a plaque deposit in a vessel

A system for planning an intravascular plaque treatment procedure for a vessel, the system comprising:

• a processor operatively coupled to memory, the processor configured to:
• receive CT data representing the vessel;
• generate, from the CT data, a cross-sectional representation of the vessel at each of a plurality of positions along the vessel;
• extract, from the cross-sectional representation, plaque data comprising at least one measurement of a plaque deposit at the plurality of positions along the vessel;
• output a graphical representation of the plaque data;
• determine, based on the plaque data, a recommended value of at least one parameter of an intravascular treatment device for use in the intravascular plaque treatment procedure;
• and
• output the recommended value of the at least one parameter.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored a computer program comprising instructions for planning an intravascular plaque treatment procedure for a vessel, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive CT data representing the vessel;
• generate, from the CT data, a cross-sectional representation of the vessel at each of a plurality of positions along the vessel;
• extract, from the cross-sectional representation, plaque data comprising at least one measurement of a plaque deposit at the plurality of positions along the vessel;
• output a graphical representation of the plaque data;
• determine, based on the plaque data, a recommended value of at least one parameter of an intravascular treatment device for use in the intravascular plaque treatment procedure;
• and
• output the recommended value of the at least one parameter.
