A METHOD FOR CEREBRAL VESSEL CALCIFICATION DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION, USING MACHINE LEARNING

A method for cerebral vessel calcification detection and classification includes the steps of: receiving a set of input Computed Tomography (CT) images representing consecutive slices of a 3D volume of cerebral vessels; performing a region of interest regression to determine a ROI within the input C...

Zusammenfassung:A method for cerebral vessel calcification detection and classification includes the steps of: receiving a set of input Computed Tomography (CT) images representing consecutive slices of a 3D volume of cerebral vessels; performing a region of interest regression to determine a ROI within the input CT images that is a cuboid that contains a circle of Willis; performing calcification detection based on the ROI within the input CT images, by means of: a segmentation procedure and/or an anomaly detection procedure; and performing quantification of the predicted locations of vessel calcifications to indicate at least one of: a volume or intensity of individual calcifications.
