Abstract
An automated measurement device and method for coronary artery disease scoring is disclosed. An example device includes a stenosis determiner configured to receive a computerized model of a plurality of vascular segments of a patient, and 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 vascular state scoring tool (“VSST”) score based on at least one of a size of the potential lesion, a distance of the potential lesion from a branch point in the plurality of vascular segments, and a distance of the potential lesion to an adjacent potential lesion. The example device also includes a user interface configured to display the VSST scores for the potential lesions.
