Abstract
A method for identifying plaque erosion in a vessel. The method includes: obtaining, using a processor, a sequence of images of the vessel; extracting, using the processor, one or more image features from the sequence of images using a convolutional neural network model; contextually classifying, using the processor, the one or more extracted image features using a cascaded self-attention trained model; and generating, using the processor, one or more diagnostic labels associated with the sequence of images based on contextually classifying the one or more extracted image features, where the one or more diagnostic labels may include an indication of a presence of plaque erosion or an absence of plaque erosion.
