Abstract
Aspects include methods, devices, and techniques for modeling abdominal aortic aneurysms (or other vascular diseases), predicting one or more outcomes related to the aneurysm in a patient, and visualizing the modeled abdominal aortic aneurysms and/or the predicted one or more outcomes related to the aneurysm in the patient.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a system of one or more computers, medical image data of a person, the medical image data comprising one or more images that each depict at least a portion of a vascular disease;
- generating, by the system and using the medical image data, a three-dimensional (3D) model of the vascular disease, the 3D model defining an outer wall of the vascular diseases;
- analyzing, by the system, the 3D model of the vascular disease to determine respective values for at least one morphological feature of the vascular disease and at least one biomechanical feature of the vascular disease;
- using the respective values for the at least one morphological feature of the vascular disease and the at least one biomechanical feature of the vascular disease to predict one or more outcomes related to the vascular disease;
- and
- outputting a visualization of a risk assessment for the vascular disease based on the predicted one or more outcomes related to the vascular disease, wherein the visualization is configured to be rendered in at least one of augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR).
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more computers;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the system to:
- obtain medical image data, the medical image data comprising one or more images that each depict at least a portion of a vascular disease;
- generate, using the medical image data, a three-dimensional (3D) model of the vascular disease, the 3D model defining an outer wall of the vascular diseases;
- analyze the 3D model of the vascular disease to determine respective values for at least one morphological feature of the vascular disease and at least one biomechanical feature of the vascular disease;
- use the respective values for the at least one morphological feature of the vascular disease and the at least one biomechanical feature of the vascular disease to predict one or more outcomes related to the vascular disease;
- and
- output a visualization of a risk assessment for the vascular disease based on the predicted one or more outcomes related to the vascular disease, wherein the visualization is configured to be rendered in at least one of augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR).
