Local Phase Based Automatic Ivus Media-adventitia Border Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a fully automatic segmentation method to extract media-adventitia border in IVUS images. We use a double-interface automatic graph cut technique to prevent the extraction of mediaadventitia border from being distracted by those image features. Novel cost functions are derived from using a combination of symmetric and asymmetric local phase features with complementary texture features. Comparative studies on manual labeled data show promising performance of the proposed method.

Automatic Segmentation of IVUS Media-Adventitia Border with Shape Prior
We present a fully automatic segmentation method to extract media-adventitia border in IVUS images with shape prior information. Segmentation of IVUS has shown to be an intricate process due to relatively low contrast and various forms of interferences and artefacts caused by, for instance, calcification and acoustic shadow. We incorporate shape prior with an automatic graph cut technique to pr...
متن کاملA Holistic Approach for the Detection of Media-Adventitia Border in IVUS
In this paper we present a methodology for the automatic detection of media-adventitia border (MAb) in Intravascular Ultrasound. A robust computation of the MAb is achieved through a holistic approach where the position of the MAb with respect to other tissues of the vessel is used. A learned quality measure assures that the resulting MAb is optimal with respect to all other tissues. The mean d...

We present a fully automatic methodology for the detection of the Media-Adventitia border (MAb) in human coronary artery in Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) images. A robust border detection is achieved by means of a holistic interpretation of the detection problem where the target object, i.e. the media layer, is considered as part of the whole vessel in the image and all the relationships betw...
متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation of Lumen in Intravascular Ultrasound Images Using Fuzzy Clustering and Active Contours
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging constitutes a widely used technique for coronary heart disease diagnosis and management of arterial atherosclerosis. The identification of lumen and media-adventitia boundaries in IVUS images is necessary for an efficient quantitative assessment of atherosclerotic plaques. In this paper, a new automated approach for lumen border detection is proposed. Thi...
متن کاملInteractive Segmentation of Media-Adventitia Border in IVUS
In this paper, we present an approach for user assisted segmentation of media-adventitia border in IVUS images. This interactive segmentation is performed by a combination of point based soft constraint on object boundary and stroke based regional constraint. The edge based boundary constraint is imposed through searching the shortest path in a three-dimensional graph, derived from a multi-laye...
