Abstract:Abstract:The volume information extracted from computed tomography angiogram is very useful for cardiologists to diagnose various diseases. An approach is presented to segment human coronary artery trees from the volumetric datasets. The coronary arteries' surfaces are recovered by triangle mesh with the boundary points extracted from the coronary artery voxels segmented. The positions where the calcified plaques occur are identified by mapping the intensities of boundary points of the coronary artery trees on… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
