Segmentation and Catheter Detection in Angiographic Images
R. Anu Prabha | M. Savitha [2] | M. Dinesh [3]
Abstract: Segmentation of coronary arteries in angiography images is a fundamental tool to evaluate arterial diseases and choose proper coronary treatment. The accurate segmentation of coronary arteries has become an important topic for the registration of different modalities, which allows physicians rapid access to different medical imaging information from Computed Tomography (CT) scans or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). An accurate fully automatic algorithm based on Graph-cuts for vessel centerline extraction, caliber estimation, and catheter detection is proposed. Vesselness, geodesic paths, and a new multiscale edgeness map are combined to customize the Graph-cuts approach to the segmentation of tubular structures, by means of a global optimization of the Graph-cuts energy function. A novel supervised learning methodology that integrates local and contextual information is proposed for automatic catheter detection.
