Abstract
A computer-implemented method for autonomous segmentation of contrast-filled coronary artery vessels includes receiving a CT scan volume representing a 3D volume of a region of anatomy that includes a pericardium; preprocessing the CT scan volume to output a preprocessed scan volume; dividing the CT scan volume into a first set of subvolumes; extracting a region of interest by autonomous segmentation of the heart region as outlined by the pericardium, by means of a neural network trained on 3D subvolumes and combining the results of the individual subvolume predictions for the first set to output a mask denoting a heart region as delineated by the pericardium; combining the preprocessed scan volume with the mask to obtain a masked volume; converting the masked volume to a second set of 3D subvolumes; and performing autonomous coronary vessel segmentation to output a mask denoting the coronary vessels.
