    摘要: A method and system for in-vivo characterization of lesion feature is disclosed. Using a non-invasive medical imaging apparatus, an image of an interior region of a patient's body is obtained. The interior region may include lesion feature (such as plaques) components from a list of components. The lesion feature components are identified by classifying each point in the image as either corresponding to one of the lesion feature components in the list of components or not, using image intensity information and image morphology information, a first relationship (such as an intensity score) correlating image intensity information with the components in the list of components and a second relationship (such as a morphology score) correlating image morphology information with the components in the list of components. Further, a variety of lesion feature characteristics is derived from the result of the classification.
