- Fig 1.
Representative angiographic images indicating the location of atherosclerotic plaque (yellow arrow, A) and 3D reconstruction of the same blood vessel (B) in mathematic indices ready for the plaque-estimation algorithm vector field (C), which encodes surface curvature.
- Fig 2.
Plaque quantification for cases I the ACA (A), II the MCA (B), and III the ICA (C). The top row is the diagnostic images with arrows indicating stenosis. The second row shows the 3D geometry of the vessel built with 3DRA images with arrows indicating stenosis. The third row shows the reconstructed plaque (yellow) and the percentage of flow obstruction computed by the program. The bottom row shows the morphology and volume of the plaque in units of microliters.

Plaque quantification for cases IV the ACA (A), V the MCA (B), and VI the ICA (C). The top row is the diagnostic images with arrows indicating stenosis. The second row shows the 3D geometry of the vessel built with 3DRA images and arrows indicating stenosis. The third row shows the reconstructed plaque (yellow) and the percentage of flow obstruction. The bottom row shows the morphology and volume of the plaque in units of microliters.

A, Representative unilateral (left) and bilateral (right) stenosis phantoms. B, The ideal vessel without stenosis. C, The reconstructed plaque for the unilateral (left) and bilateral (right) models. D, The percentage of the volume estimation (CPV/PV) for lesion sizes 5, 10, and 15 mm in the direction of the vessel long axis.
