Detection of calcified plaques in coronary arteries is helpful in cardiovascular disease risk assessment. This is often performed by radiologists on computed tomography (CT) images. We work towards an automatic solution for calcium detection in CT images. Most of previous work in this area combines CT and CTA for this purpose to facilitate the localization of the coronary arteries. Given the cost...
Artery-vein classification on pulmonary computed tomography (CT) images is becoming of high interest in the scientific community due to the prevalence of pulmonary vascular disease that affects arteries and veins through different mechanisms. In this work, we present a novel approach to automatically segment and classify vessels from chest CT images. We use a scale-space particle segmentation to isolate...
Automatic identification of side branch and main vascular measurements in IVOCT images take critical roles in pre-interventional decision making for coronary artery disease treatment. Very little works have been presented on these tasks. In this paper, we proposed a novel side branch identification algorithm which utilizes a newly defined global curvature feature to identify the ostium of side branch...
Biplane X-ray angiography is currently the gold standard for navigational guidance during percutaneous interventions in vascular structures; but it remains limited to 2D projections. In this study, we propose a novel graph-based voxel coloring method for 3D reconstruction of vascular structures from biplane X-ray angiography sequences. The reconstruction is obtained by using the random walks algorithm...
A significant amount of research has been done on the segmentation of coronary arteries. However, the resulting automated boundary delineation is still not suitable for clinical utilization. The convolutional neural network was driving advances in the medical image processing. We propose the brief convolutional network (BCN) that automatically produces the labeled mask with the luminal and wall boundaries...
