Embodiments discussed herein facilitate segmentation of vascular plaque, training a deep learning model to segment vascular plaque, and/or informing clinical decision-making based on segmented vascular plaque. One example embodiment accessing vascular imaging data for a patient, wherein the vascular imaging data comprises a volume of interest; pre-process the vascular imaging data to generate pre-processed vascular imaging data; provide the pre-processed vascular imaging data to a deep learning model trained to segment a lumen and a vascular plaque; and obtain segmented vascular imaging data from the deep learning model, wherein the segmented vascular imaging data comprises a segmented lumen and a segmented vascular plaque in the volume of interest.
