Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of treating a subject having arterial stenosis. The method comprises: (a) providing a plurality of image frames of an artery of the subject taken in sequence; (b) in a plurality of cross-sections of the artery, determining a maximum diameter and a minimum diameter of each of the plurality of cross-sections of the artery among the plurality of image frames of the step (a); (c) calculating an average vasodilation ratio of the artery base on the maximum diameter and the minimum diameter determined in the step (b); and (d) treating the subject based on the average vasodilation ratio calculated in the step (c), by implanting a stent to the subject when the average vasodilation ratio is equal to or greater than 0.2; or administering to the subject an effective amount of a vasodilator when the average vasodilation ratio is less than 0.2.
