Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: acquiring, with an imaging apparatus, anatomical imaging data: segmenting, with a processor, imaging data corresponding to non-healthy tissue of interest and healthy tissue of interest from the anatomical imaging data determining, with the processor, both first inflow and first perfusion metrics for the non-healthy tissue of interest; determining, with the processor, both second inflow and second perfusion metrics for the healthy tissue of interest; computing, with the processor, a relative inflow metric based on the inflow metrics of the non-healthy and the healthy tissue of interest; computing, with the processor, a relative perfusion metric based on the perfusion metrics of the non-healthy and the healthy tissue of interest; generating, with the processor, a collateral grading score based on the relative inflow metric and the relative perfusion metric by subtracting the relative perfusion metric from the relative inflow metric to compute the collateral grading score; and concurrently presenting both the first inflow and perfusion metrics for the non-healthy tissue of interest and both the second inflow and perfusion metrics for the healthy tissue of interest.
