Innovative Tool for Automatic Detection of Arterial Stenosis on Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Arterial stenosis is one of the main vascular diseases that are treated with minimally invasive surgery approaches. The aim this study was to provide a tool support medical doctor in planning endovascular surgery, allowing rapid detection stenotic vessels and quantification stenosis. Skeletonization used improve vessels’ visualization. distance transform obtain linear representation diameter critical selected by user. system also provides an estimate exact between landmarks on tree occlusion, important information can be surgery. advantage proposed lead examination chosen free from tortuous courses vessel crossings.
