The detection of coronary artery stenosis is one of the most important indicators for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. However, stenosis in branch vessels is often difficult to detect using computer-aided systems and even radiologists because of...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most prevalent form of cardiovascular disease that may result in myocardial infarction. Annually, it leads to millions of fatalities and causes billions of dollars in global economic losses. Limited resources and comp...

(1) Background: Stent underexpansion is the main cause of stent thrombosis and restenosis. Coronary angiography has limitations in the assessment of stent expansion. Enhanced stent imaging (ESI) methods allow a detailed visualization of stent deployment....

This paper presents a novel method based on a curve descriptor and projection geometry constrained for vessel matching. First, an LM (Leveberg?Marquardt) algorithm is proposed to optimize the matrix of geometric transformation. Combining with parameter a...

The mesh-type coronary model, obtained from three-dimensional reconstruction using the sequence of images produced by computed tomography (CT), can be used to obtain useful diagnostic information, such as extracting the projection of the lumen (planar de...
