Size Independent Active Contour Model for Blood Vessel Lumen Quantification in High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Images
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of myocardial infarction. To study the atherosclerotic plaque in high resolution Magnetic Resonance images we developed a software tool called ATHER. An active contour model is used for segmentation and quantification of blood vessel lumen. Its implementation, based on a dynamic scaling process, presents two interesting features: 1) independence of the i...
متن کاملLumen segmentation in magnetic resonance images of the carotid artery
Investigation of the carotid artery plays an important role in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular events. Segmentation of the lumen and vessel wall in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images is the first step towards evaluating any possible cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis. However, the automatic segmentation of the lumen is still a challenge due to the low quality of the images and the presen...
متن کاملa model for diagnosing breast cancerous tissue from thermal images using active contour and lyapunov exponent
background: the segmentation of cancerous areas in breast images is important for the early detection of disease. thermal imaging has advantages, such as being non-invasive, non-radiation, passive, quick, painless, inexpensive, and non-contact. imaging technique is the focus of this research. methods: the proposed model in this paper is a combination of surf and corners that are very resistant....
متن کاملDynamic Active Contour Model for Size Independent Blood Vessel Lumen Segmentation and Quantification in High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Images
We are presenting a software tool developed for the purpose of atherosclerotic plaque study in high resolution Magnetic Resonance Images. A new implementation of balloon-type active contour model used for segmentation and quantification of blood vessel lumen is described. Its originality resides in a dynamic scaling process which makes the influence of the balloon force independent of the curre...
متن کاملActive Contour Method to Segment Tumor Regions in Medical Images
Medical imaging has come a long way since the discovery of X-rays by Professor Roentgen in the first decade of 1900’s. The advent of the digital computer and new imaging modalities like ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have combined to create an explosion of diagnostic imaging techniques in the last 3 decades. The key to using these techniques effectively is to be able to invent ...
