A Study on Intravascular Ultrasound Image Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Innovative applications of image processing techniques for analysis of intravascular ultrasound images are presented. This work has two main objectives: (1) to detect the luminal contour which is necessary to assess the degree of vessel stenosis, and (2) to detect presence of calcification, which is an important information for definition of the intervention method. These problems were addressed using a combination of mathematical morphology techniques, fuzzy systems, and a priori knowledge of the problems. Encouraging results were found when the results were compared with images manually segmented by expert medical doctors.

Edge-Preserved Smoothing Method with Special Reference to Intravascular Ultrasound Image Using Anisotropic Diffusion Filter Controlled by Weighted Separability Measure
This paper describes a novel edge-preserved smoothing method specialized for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image. In the proposed method, the processing of an anisotropic diffusion filter is controlled by the weighted separability of an IVUS image. The present method not only reduces a speckle noise but also enhances an edge on an IVUS image. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verifi...
متن کاملA New Fourier-based Multistatic Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique for Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging
Abstracr Synthetic aperture processing yields an effective lateral r solution for intravascular ultrasound imaging. This processing is generally performed with time domain summation. In this paper, we derive a new synthetic aperture inversion method based on the Fourier domain. The analysis of the image formation shows that the frequency modulation of the PSF could be useful to improve the ...

متن کاملDenoising Of Intravascular Ultrasound Images: A Comparative Study
The major objective of the image Enhancement techniques is to emphasize & sharpen the features of images for better display & investigation. Medical images are affected by the Mixed Noise, which is the combination of Speckle & Gaussian Noise. Mixed Noise is an inherent property of Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging (IVUS) & it is generally tends to deteriorate the image quality, thereby reducing ...
متن کاملSimulation Model of Intravascular Ultrasound Images
The extraction of quantitative information through Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) images is a very important goal for the diagnostic and the therapy in atherosclerotic vessels. The correct interpretation highly depends on what gray level values of the image mean, i.e understanding of IVUS image formation. In this project, we propose a simple physical model for simulating IVUS images, based on ...
