ANALYZING AORTIC VALVE CALCIFICATION Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61B8/00 G06T7/11 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medicine, namely to the system and method for analyzing the image of the structure of the aortic valve. In the method, the workstation and the visualization device comprise a system for implementing the method, moreover, the system contains an image interface for obtaining the image of the aortic valve structure, the aortic valve structure comprising aortic valve leaflets and an aortic bulbus; a segmentation subsystem for segmenting the aortic valve structure in the image to obtain a segmentation of the aortic valve structure; an identification subsystem for identifying a calcification on the aortic valve leaflets by analyzing the image of the aortic valve structure; an analysis subsystem configured for: I) determining a centerline of the aortic bulbus by analyzing the segmentation of the aortic valve structure; II) projecting the calcification from the centerline onto the aortic bulbus, thereby obtaining a projection indicating a location of the calcification as projected onto the aortic bulbus; an output unit for generating data representing the projection, wherein the image of the aortic valve structure is a three-dimensional image, thereby obtaining as the projection a three-dimensional projection.

EFFECT: group of inventions provides an effective analysis of the risk of paravalvular leakage during interventions during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for assessing the patient's readiness for TAVI.
