In this embodiment, the first coronary model and the second coronary model are both three-dimensional geometric models of coronary artery.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the coronary model obtaining module includes a first coronary model obtaining sub-module and a second coronary model obtaining sub-module.
Optionally, referring to fig. 2A, the first coronary artery model obtaining sub-module 121 is connected to the medical image obtaining module 11, and is configured to segment the medical image to obtain the first coronary artery model. The second coronary artery model obtaining sub-module 122 is connected to the first coronary artery model obtaining sub-module 121, and is configured to perform simulated repair on at least one lesion of a coronary artery of the patient in the first coronary artery model to obtain the second coronary artery model.

Specifically, the first coronary artery model obtaining sub-module 121 inputs the medical image into the image segmentation model, and obtains the first coronary artery model according to the output of the image segmentation model.
The first coronary-artery-model obtaining sub-module 121 may also segment the medical image by using a threshold method to obtain the first coronary-artery model. Specifically, the first coronary artery model obtaining sub-module 121 obtains a gray value range of a coronary artery blood vessel, and obtains all voxel points (or pixel points) located in the gray value range from the medical image, where a set formed by the voxel points (or pixel points) is the first coronary artery model.

In a specific application, the first lesionparameter obtaining unit 1221 may use a stenosis detection algorithm to obtain at least one stenosis position in the first coronary artery model, and use an existing geometric method to obtain a vessel centerline, a cross section of a proximal end of the stenosis, and a cross section of a distal end of the stenosis (or a vessel diameter of the proximal end of the stenosis and a vessel diameter of the distal end of the stenosis) of the stenosis position.
One implementation of the stenosis detection algorithm is: according to the coronary artery blood vessel obtained by segmentation and the central line thereof, the diameters or the cross sections of different positions of the blood vessel are calculated along the central line, and the position of which the diameter or the cross section is smaller than a threshold value is selected as the narrow position of the coronary artery.
Another implementation of the stenosis detection algorithm is: the first coronary model of the patient is processed using an AI stenosis detection model to obtain the location of the coronary stenosis. The AI stenosis detection model is a trained deep learning network model, the training data of which comprises a plurality of coronary images marked with stenosis positions, and the stenosis positions of the coronary images can be marked manually in specific application; the training of the AI stenosis detection model can be implemented by using the existing training mode, which is not described herein in any more detail.

Specifically, for any stenosis position B, the firstsimulation repair unit 1222 may generate a geometric body with a specific shape, such as a cylinder, a truncated cone, etc., by using the center line of the blood vessel of the stenosis position B as a symmetry axis and using the cross section of the proximal end of the stenosis and the cross section of the distal end of the stenosis as end surfaces, and use the geometric body with the specific shape to replace the blood vessel of the stenosis position B to obtain the second coronary model.

In a specific application, the second lesionparameter obtaining unit 1223 may use a stenosis detection algorithm to obtain at least one stenosis position in the medical image, and use an existing geometric method to obtain a vessel centerline, a cross section of a proximal end of the stenosis, and a cross section of a distal end of the stenosis (or a vessel diameter of the proximal end of the stenosis and a vessel diameter of the distal end of the stenosis) of the stenosis position.
The secondsimulated repair unit 1224 is connected to the second lesionparameter obtaining unit 1223, and is configured to modify the stenosis of the coronary vessel of the patient in the medical image according to the lesion parameter, so as to obtain the medical image after the simulated repair.
