    Abstract: The present subject matter discloses a system and method for automatically detecting and quantifying a plaque/stenosis in a vascular ultrasound scan data in real time using Deep learning models. The system receives a video data and selects one or more frames/images for further processing to detect and quantify the plaque in the artery. Based on the selected one or more frames, the system detects a region of interest (ROI) and further processes the ROI. The system selects end points of a deposits of the plaque by taking a maximum length of the plaque in the artery/plaque boundary and determines the orientation of the vascular ultrasound scan. Based on the orientation and the selected end points, the system determines a vessel/artery boundary to identify a size of the plaque. Based on the determined vessel boundary and the orientation, the system determines plaque segments and measures parameters of the plaque.
