Abstract

A method for determining the risk of rupture of a blood vessel using an appropriate set of 2-D slice images obtained by scanning the blood vessel, the method comprising: generating a mesh model of the blood vessel using the set of 2-D slice images; conducting finite element stress analysis on the mesh model to calculate the level of stress on different locations on the mesh model; and determining the risk of rupture of the blood vessel based on the calculated levels of stress on different locations on the mesh model. Apparatus for determining the risk of rupture of a blood vessel using an appropriate set of 2-D slice images obtained by scanning the blood vessel, the apparatus comprising: apparatus for generating a mesh model of the blood vessel using the set of 2-D slice images; apparatus for conducting finite element stress analysis on the mesh model to calculate the level of stress on different locations on the mesh model; and apparatus for determining the risk of rupture of the blood vessel based on the calculated levels of stress on different locations on the mesh model. A method for conducting virtual histology, wherein the method comprises using the Contiguous Element Defined Area (CEDA) method. A method for conducting virtual histology, wherein the method comprises: (a) determining the number of tissues (NT) to be characterized; (b) for each tissue Ti, defining two functions, one for inclusion (Ti) and one to measure spatial_coherence (Tj); (c) choosing an unlabeled pixel in the sample S and testing the pixel density for inclusion (Ti) - initially, all pixels within the sample are 'unlabelled' - if included, label the pixel with Ti, and recursively iterate through the unlabeled contiguous pixels until no more meet the inclusion criteria; (d) repeating Step (c) for each tissue Ti and each unlabeled pixel in the sample S; (e) for each set of found contiguous pixels, applying the criteria for spatial coherence, spatial_coherence(Tι) - if the set meets the criteria, preserve the labeling for Ti, otherwise re-labeling it as 'incoherent'; (f) optionally, re-labeling the 'incoherent' pixel sets as the tissues Ti found in the adjoining pixels; and (g) reporting virtual histology results using percentages and statistics derived using an explicit spatial coherence measure.
