Composite rendering including the coronary arteries, plaque, and computed tomography-fractional flow reserve (ct-ffr) information

A system, comprising:

• a medical imaging modality configured to acquire projection data and generate three-dimensional image data of an interior region of a subject;
• a display device;
• and
• an operator console with a processor configured to:
• segment the three-dimensional image data to generate an image of one or more anatomical vessels of a subject;
• segment the three-dimensional image data or the image to generate one or more segmentations of plaque in the one or more anatomical vessels;
• determine FFR information for the one or more anatomical vessels from the three-dimensional image data;
• generate a composite rendering that includes the image of one or more anatomical vessels, the one or more segmentations of plaque, and the FFR information;
• and
• display the composite rendering in a single viewport visually presented on the display device.

A computer readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• acquire projection data and generate three-dimensional image data of an interior region of a subject with a medical imaging modality;
• segment an image of one or more anatomical vessels of the subject from the three-dimensional image data;
• segment one or more segmentations of plaque in the one or more anatomical vessels from the three-dimensional image data or the image;
• determine FFR information for the one or more anatomical vessels with the three-dimensional image data;
• generate a composite rendering that includes the image of one or more anatomical vessels, the one or more segmentations of plaque, and the FFR information;
• and
• display the composite rendering in a single viewport visually presented on a display device.
