Abstract
An automated measurement device and method for coronary artery disease scoring is disclosed. An example device includes a vascular tree reconstructor configured to receive vascular image data of a plurality of vascular segments of a patient and create a computerized model of the plurality of vascular segments by combining the vascular image data. The example device also includes a stenosis determiner configured to analyze the model to determine locations of potential lesions. The example device further includes a vascular state score calculator configured to, for each potential lesion, determine a first vascular state scoring tool “VSST”) subscore based on a size of the potential lesion and a second VSST subscore based on a distance of the potential lesion from a branch point in the plurality of vascular segment. The vascular state score calculator calculates a total VSST score by combining the first VSST subscore and the second VSST subscore.
