In this study, it is proposed fast texture segmentation of detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. proliferative diabetic retinopathy is characterized by the revascularization on the optic disc or on the retinal area or both, as a result of diabetes mellitus. It may leads to the blindness if it is not detected and treated in proper time. This study proposes a novel method to detect the...

In this work, we present a novel method for blood vessel segmentation in fundus images based on a discriminatively trained, fully connected conditional random field model. Retinal image analysis is greatly aided by blood vessel segmentation as the vessel structure may be considered both a key source of signal, e.g. in the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, or a nuisance, e.g. in the analysis of...

This paper deals with computed tomography angiography based vessel exploration. Large image sequences of the lower extremities are investigated in a clinical environment. Two different approaches for peripheral vessel diagnosis dealing with stenosis and calcification detection are introduced. The paper presents an automated vessel-tracking tool for curved planar reformation. A user interactive ...

The study of the coronary vessel structure is crucial to the diagnosis of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases, which together account for ∼ 35% of all deaths in the United States per year. Vessel Segmentation from CTA data is challenging because of non-uniform image intensity along the vessel, and the branching and thinning geometry of the vessel tree. We present a novel method fo...

PURPOSE Vessel wall imaging techniques have been introduced to assess the burden of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in terms of vessel wall thickness, area or volume. Recent advances in a 3D black-blood MRI sequence known as the 3D motion-sensitized driven equilibrium (MSDE) prepared rapid gradient echo sequence (3D MERGE) have allowed the acquisition of vessel wall images with up to 50 cm co...

Model-based approaches towards the segmentation of vascular and cardiac images are presented. For vessel segmentation, prior shape information is introduced based on the notion that vessels are elongated structures. For cardiac segmentation, shape information derived from a training set of segmented images is incorporated in an automatically constructed point distribution model of the heart.

Automated image processing has the potential to assist in the early detection of diabetes, by detecting changes in blood vessel diameter and patterns in the retina. This paper describes the development of segmentation methodology in the processing of retinal blood vessel images obtained using non-mydriatic colour photography. The methods used include wavelet analysis, supervised classifier prob...

Automatic segmentation of the vasculature in retinal images is important in the detection of diabetic retinopathy that affects the morphology of the blood vessel tree. In this paper, a hybrid method for efficient segmentation of multiple oriented blood vessels in colour retinal images is proposed. Initially, the appearance of the blood vessels are enhanced and background noise is suppressed wit...

This paper presents an automatic application that provides several retinal image analysis functionalities, namely vessel segmentation, vessel width estimation, artery/vein classification and optic disc segmentation. A pipeline of these methods allows the computation of important vessel related indexes, namely the Central Retinal Arteriolar Equivalent (CRAE), Central Retinal Venular Equivalent (...
