At least one example embodiment provides an improved handling of image data sets of patients.

Methods for operating an evaluation system for medical image data sets, evaluation systems, computer programs and electronically readable storage mediums

At least one example embodiment provides a computer-implemented method for evaluating at least one image data set of an imaging region of a patient, wherein at least one evaluation information describing at least one medical condition in an anatomical structure of the imaging region is determined.

A method, preferably a computer implemented method, and system are for providing output data associated with a medical imaging dataset of a patient, the medical imaging dataset including image data of a region of an anatomy of a patient including a plurality of coronary arteries. The output data is a significance score associated with a medical imaging data set of a patient. The method, in the most general terms, includes receiving input data, e.g. via a first interface, generating output data by applying algorithmic operations to the input data, and providing the output data, e.g. via a second interface.

In hemodynamic determination in medical imaging, the classifier is trained from synthetic data rather than relying on training data from other patients. A computer model (in silico) may be perturbed in many different ways to generate many different examples. The flow is calculated for each resulting example. A bench model (in vitro) may similarly be altered in many different ways. The flow is measured for each resulting example. The machine-learnt classifier uses features from medical scan data for a particular patient to estimate the blood flow based on mapping of features to flow learned from the synthetic data. Perturbations or alterations may account for therapy so that the machine-trained classifier may estimate the results of therapeutically altering a patient-specific input feature. Uncertainty may be handled by training the classifier to predict a distribution of possibilities given uncertain input distribution. Combinations of one or more of uncertainty, use of synthetic training data, and therapy prediction may be provided.

Data-driven plaque determination in medical imaging

A computer-implemented method is for evaluating a CT data set of a coronary region of a patient regarding perivascular tissue of at least one target blood vessel. In an embodiment, the computer-implemented method automatically determines a centerline of at least the at least one target blood vessel in the CT data set; defines a region of interest as including at least one defined outer region radius around an extension interval of the centerline, the outer region radius being relatively larger than a radius of the at least one target blood vessel; and calculates at least one quantitative value from CT data in the region of interest.

A method is for providing an aggregate algorithm for processing medical data. In an embodiment, a multitude of local algorithms are trained by machine learning. The training of each respective local algorithm is performed on a respective local system using respective local training data. A respective algorithm dataset concerning the respective local algorithm is transferred to an aggregating system that generates the aggregate algorithm based on the algorithm datasets.

A computer-implemented method is for providing a two-dimensional unfolded image of at least one tubular structure. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving three-dimensional image data of an examination region including the at least one tubular structure; selecting a set of input points in the three-dimensional image data; determining a projection surface with respect to the three-dimensional image data; calculating a set of surface points of the projection surface; calculating a deformed projection surface by applying a deformation algorithm onto the projection surface; calculating a set of voxel positions with respect to the three-dimensional image data based on the deformed projection surface; and calculating the two-dimensional unfolded image of the at least one tubular structure based on the three-dimensional image data and the set of voxel positions.

Synthetic data-driven hemodynamic determination in medical imaging

A method, for two-dimensional mapping of anatomical structures of a patient, includes acquiring three-dimensional image data of anatomical structures of a patient; adapting a virtual network structure to a spatial course of the anatomical structures; defining a user-defined map projection for projection of two-dimensional pixel positions of an image to be output onto a geometric figure around a center of the anatomical structures for which mapping onto a two-dimensional space is defined; ascertaining points of intersection of radially extending half lines assigned to the two-dimensional pixel positions of the image to be output with the virtual network structure; and ascertaining the image to be output based upon image intensity values assigned to the points of intersection ascertained. A method for two-dimensional mapping of the tree-like elongated structure of the patient; a method for simultaneous mapping of a tree-like elongated structure; and corresponding apparatuses are also described.

A method and system for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning is disclosed. An anatomical surface model of the aortic valve is estimated from medical image data of a patient. Calcified lesions within the aortic valve are segmented in the medical image data. A combined volumetric model of the aortic valve and calcified lesions is generated. A 3D printed model of the heart valve and calcified lesions is created using a 3D printer. Different implant device types and sizes can be placed into the 3D printed model of the aortic valve and calcified lesions to select an implant device type and size for the patient for a TAVI procedure. The method can be similarly applied to other heart valves for any type of heart valve intervention planning.

A method and system for automated decision support for treatment planning of arterial stenoses is disclosed. A set of stenotic lesions is identified in a patient's coronary arteries from medical image data of the patient. A plurality of treatment options are generated for the set of stenotic lesions, wherein each of the plurality of treatment options corresponds to a stenting configuration in which one or more of the stenotic lesions are stented. For each of the plurality of treatment options, predicted hemodynamic metrics for the set of stenotic lesions resulting from the stenting configuration corresponding to that treatment option are calculated.
