Automated Segmentation of Angio Vessels

چکیده
Segmentation is one of the major steps in the analysis of medical images, as it outputs the attributes extracted from the input images. The need for automated width detection lies in analyzing the presence or absence of specific anomalies. The paper presents the segmentation of the Coronary artery tree from the angiographic images. This is done by extracting or segmenting the vessels and thereby detecting its width. The proposed algorithm consists of two main steps, namely the pre-processing and the segmentation. In the pre-processing step, the Hessian matrix analysis is done to track the coronary vessel structures from the original image and the Frangi 2D filter is used to enhance the angiogram image. In the

A Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملAn Automated MR Image Segmentation System Using Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network
Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...
متن کاملDiagnosis of brain tumor using PNN neural networks
Cells grow and then need a very neat method to create new cells that work properly to maintain the health of the body. When the ability to control the growth of the cells is lost, they are unconsidered and often divided without order. Exemplified cells form a tissue mass called the tumor. In fact, brain tumors are abnormal and uncontrolled cell proliferations. Segmentation methods are used in b...
متن کاملAutomated segmentation of retinal blood vessels in spectral domain optical coherence tomography scans
The correct segmentation of blood vessels in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images may be an important requirement for the analysis of intra-retinal layer thickness in human retinal diseases. We developed a shape model based procedure for the automatic segmentation of retinal blood vessels in spectral domain (SD)-OCT scans acquired with the Spectralis OCT system. The segmentation procedure ...
متن کاملAutomated segmentation of the pulmonary arteries in low-dose CT by vessel tracking
We present a fully automated method for top-down segmentation of the pulmonary arterial tree in low-dose thoracic CT images. The main basal pulmonary arteries are identified near the lung hilum by searching for candidate vessels adjacent to known airways, identified by our previously reported airway segmentation method. Model cylinders are iteratively fit to the vessels to track them into the l...
