Automated Artery Localization and Vessel Wall Segmentation using Tracklet Refinement and Polar Conversion
2020
IEEE Access
Image patches were extracted from the centerlines and converted in a polar coordinate system for vessel wall segmentation. ...
The segmentation method used 3D polar information and overcame problems such as contour discontinuity, complex vessel geometry, and interference from neighboring vessels. ...
Semiautomated or automated methods have been proposed to segment vessel walls, such as using active contour models by Yuan et al. [9] and Adams et al. ...

Quantifying errors in flow measurement using phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging: comparison of several boundary detection methods
2015
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
These simplified expressions were then used to numerically simulate the effect of segmentation accuracy and provide some criteria that if met, would keep errors in flow quantification below 10% or 5%. ...
These sources of errors are well understood and mathematical expressions have been derived for them in previous work. ...

Segmentation of Soft atherosclerotic plaques using active contour models
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Consequently based on detected seed point & intensity behaviour, localized active contour segmentation has been applied to extract complete coronary tree. ...
This similarity in intensity makes the isolation and detection of soft plaques very difficult. This work aims to develop framework for segmentation of vulnerable plaques with minimal user dependency. ...
A substitute for non-invasive imaging of vasculature is magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) but due to less spatial resolution (high slice thickness) this modality is for recording larger vessels only ...
