Computer Aided Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Diseases

Assessment of coronary CT angiograms for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases is a time consuming and demanding task, requiring a high degree of clincal experience. In order to support clinical personel, reducion of diagnosis times and the increase of diagnosis reliability, this project aims to develop methods for the automatic detection, analysis and evaluation of lesions in coronary CT data. For this task, methods from the areas of pattern recocgnition, image processing, visualization and modelling will be used (e.g. detection of lesions using pattern recocgnition, visualization by model generation of the coronary vascular tree). Finally, the methods developed will undergo clinical evaluation.
