Detection of blocks in vessels is the major concern in medical applications such as aneurysms and by-pass surgery. In this paper we presented a novel algorithm for block detection in blood vessels using pseudo coloring. Pseudo color processing is done to increase the visual quality of angiogram images. We applied a cylindrical circular model for receiving angiogram images of vessels. Finally a block is detected on pseudo colored angiogram images, and we suggest surgery to be performed based on the number of blocks found in blood vessels.
