TL;DR: The results of the evaluation indicate that segmentation of the vessel lumen and media is possible with an accuracy that is comparable to manual annotation when semi-automatic methods are used, as well as encouraging results can be obtained also in case of fully-automatic segmentation.

Ji Yang,Lin Tong,Mehdi Faraji,Anup Basu +3 more
- 24 Aug 2018
TL;DR: Kulbear et al. as discussed by the authors proposed an FCN architecture, called IVUS-Net, followed by a post-processing contour extraction step, to automatically segment the interior (lumen) and exterior (media-adventitia) regions of the human arteries.

Geodesic active contours
Vicent Caselles,Ron Kimmel,Guillermo Sapiro +2 more
- 20 Jun 1995
TL;DR: A novel scheme for the detection of object boundaries based on active contours evolving in time according to intrinsic geometric measures of the image, allowing stable boundary detection when their gradients suffer from large variations, including gaps.
Geodesic Active Contours
TL;DR: In this article, a geodesic approach based on active contours evolving in time according to intrinsic geometric measures of the image is presented. But this approach is not suitable for 3D object segmentation.

Compensatory Enlargement of Human Atherosclerotic Coronary Arteries
Seymour Glagov,Elliot Weisenberg,Christopher K. Zarins,Regina Stankunavicius,George J. Kolettis +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that human coronary arteries enlarge in relation to plaque area and that functionally important lumen stenosis may be delayed until the lesion occupies 40 percent of the internal elastic lamina area.

TL;DR: Coronary plaque composition can be predicted through the use of IVUS radiofrequency data analysis, and autoregressive classification schemes performed better than classic Fourier methods, enabling in vivo plaque characterization.
