Segmentation of coronary artery using graph cut technique
Keywords:
segmentation, coronary artery, centerline, coronary angiographyAbstract
Accurate segmentation of coronary artery is very essential in order to find the depth of arterial disease. In this paper we propose an accurate automatic algorithm based on graph cut technique for the segmentation of coronary artery. To achieve the optimal segmentation vesselness measure, geodesic path and edge extraction technique are combined with graph cut technique.we evaluate the proposed method on the public images from coronary artery stenoses detection. The experimental results prove that segmentation results of the proposed method perform well with respect to centerline extraction and vessel border detection.
