A Level Set Method for Vessel Segmentation in Coronary Angiography
Jorge Brieva, Esther González, F. Gonzalez, Alexandre Bousse, Jean-Jacques Bellanger · 2005
This paper presents a level set technique to extract the vascular structures in coronary angiography. It makes use of the Mumford-Shah functional to extract contours that are not necessary defined by gradient. A shape artery simulator was implemented to test and evaluate the detection method. Experimental results are presented on simulated data and real images successively.
