We propose an algorithm of blood vessel segmentation for MRA data in this paper. The generic region growing, as well as thresholding, is not appropriate to extract the whole part of the vessels on MRA data. This is because of the image property of the MRA, where the intensity of each pixel on the blood area depends on the amount of blood flow. Moreover, thin vessels are affected by the partial ...

Ocular fundus image assessment has been extensively used by ophthalmologists for diagnosing vascular and non vascular pathology. Examining the retinal blood vessel network may reveal arteriosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and stroke [12]. Furthermore, the segmentation of the vessel network is the most suitable representation for the retinal image registration since vas...

This paper presents a method for blood vessel detection in digital retinal images. The method uses fuzzy logic approach with block wise gridding. It uses an adaptive approach for vessel detection. The segmentation is produced by classifying each pixel of the image as vessel or nonvessel. The performance of the proposed methodology is evaluated on the publicly available DRIVE database. It also c...

In the present study, a hybrid semi-supervised pixel-based classification algorithm is proposed for the automatic segmentation of intracranial aneurysms in Computed Tomography Angiography images. The algorithm was designed to discriminate image pixels as belonging to one of the two classes: blood vessel and brain parenchyma. Its accuracy in vessel and aneurysm detection was compared with two ot...

Retinal blood flow quantification by retinal vessel segmentation with Doppler optical coherence angiography is presented. Vessel diameter, orientation, and position are determined in an en face vessel image and two representative cross-sectional flow images of the vessel. Absolute blood flow velocity is calculated with the help of the measured Doppler frequency shift and determined vessel angle...

Retinal image analysis is done through different diagnosis methods in this modern Ophthalmology .Many novel methods are present to segment blood vessels and optic disc in the fundus retinal images. This methods are used for non-intrusive diagnosis since in the modern ophthalmology ,morphology of blood vessel and optic disc is an important indicator for some of the diseases like diabetic retinop...
