Abstract

The present approach relates to the use of trained artificial neural networks, such as convolutional neural networks, to classify vascular structures, such as using a hierarchical classification scheme. In certain approaches, the artificial neural network is trained using training data that is all or partly derived from synthetic vascular representations.
