COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR EVALUATING A CT DATA SET REGARDING PERIVASCULAR TISSUE, EVALUATION DEVICE, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND ELECTRONICALLY READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18365507 titled 'COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR EVALUATING A CT DATA SET REGARDING PERIVASCULAR TISSUE, EVALUATION DEVICE, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND ELECTRONICALLY READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer-based method for evaluating CT scan data of a patient's coronary region to analyze the perivascular tissue of a target blood vessel.
- The method automatically determines the centerline of the target blood vessel in the CT scan data.
- A region of interest is defined around the centerline, including an outer region radius that is larger than the radius of the target blood vessel.
- The method calculates quantitative values from the CT scan data within the defined region of interest.
This innovation aims to provide a computerized approach to analyze perivascular tissue in CT scans, potentially aiding in the evaluation of coronary conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
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.
