Abstract
The present disclosure provides apparatus and methods to both infer stent expansion (vessel expansion or compliance) and probability of procedural success (vessel patency) from pretreatment diagnostic imaging at the point-of-care and also train an inference model to generate such an inference, thus allowing a physician to choose with greater certainty an optimal treatment tool and treatment protocol for treating a vessel of a patient.
