Systems and methods for correction of artificial deformation in anatomic modeling
View Patent ↗Systems and methods are disclosed for correcting for artificial deformations in anatomical modeling. One method includes obtaining an anatomic model; obtaining information indicating a presence of an artificial deformation of the anatomic model; identifying a portion of the anatomic model associated with the artificial deformation; estimating a non-deformed local area corresponding to the portion of the anatomic model; and modifying the portion of the anatomic model associated with the artificial deformation, based on the estimated non-deformed local area.
1. A computer-implemented method of correcting anatomical modeling, the method comprising:
obtaining an anatomic model including a patient's vasculature;
obtaining information indicating a presence of an artificial deformation of the anatomic model;
identifying a portion of the anatomic model associated with the artificial deformation;
estimating a non-deformed anatomic dimension of a blood vessel of the patient's vasculature; and
modifying the portion of the anatomic model associated with the artificial deformation, based on the estimated non-deformed anatomic dimension.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the artificial deformation is based on a misregistration, a motion artifact, or myocardial bridging.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anatomic model is a blood vessel model and the anatomic dimension includes an estimated cross-sectional area for a non-deformed blood vessel of the blood vessel model.
4. The method of claim 3 , further including:
estimating the non-deformed anatomic dimension by determining a constant radius centered on a centerline of the blood vessel model.
5. The method of claim 3 , further including:
estimating the non-deformed anatomic dimension based on a computed or stored idealized radius.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anatomic model includes implicit or explicit local area information.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicating the presence of the artificial deformation is obtained based on a user input.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicating the presence of the artificial deformation is obtained based on a computation between one or more images, measuring an image artifact, employing a segmentation algorithm, or a combination thereof.
9. A system for correcting anatomical modeling, the system comprising:
a data storage device storing instructions for correcting anatomical modeling; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
obtaining an anatomic model including a patient's vasculature;
obtaining information indicating a presence of an artificial deformation of the anatomic model;
identifying a portion of the anatomic model associated with the artificial deformation;
estimating a non-deformed anatomic dimension of a blood vessel of the patient's vasculature; and
modifying the portion of the anatomic model associated with the artificial deformation, based on the estimated non-deformed anatomic dimension.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the artificial deformation is based on a misregistration, a motion artifact, or myocardial bridging.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the anatomic model is a blood vessel model and the anatomic dimension includes an estimated cross-sectional area for a non-deformed blood vessel of the blood vessel model.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one computer system is further configured for:
estimating the non-deformed anatomic dimension by determining a constant radius centered on a centerline of the blood vessel model.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one computer system is further configured for:
estimating the non-deformed anatomic dimension based on a computed or stored idealized radius.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the anatomic model includes implicit or explicit local area information.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the information indicating the presence of the artificial deformation is obtained based on a user input.
16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the information indicating the presence of the artificial deformation is obtained based on a computation between one or more images, measuring an image artifact, employing a segmentation algorithm, or a combination thereof.
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method of correcting anatomical modeling, the method comprising:
obtaining an anatomic model including a patient's vasculature;
obtaining information indicating a presence of an artificial deformation of the anatomic model;
identifying a portion of the anatomic model associated with the artificial deformation;
estimating a non-deformed anatomic dimension of a blood vessel of the patient's vasculature; and
modifying the portion of the anatomic model associated with the artificial deformation, based on the estimated non-deformed anatomic dimension.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the artificial deformation is based on a misregistration, a motion artifact, or myocardial bridging.
