DETECTION OF BLOCKS IN BLOOD VESSELS BASED ON VESSEL SIZE USING THE PSEUDO COLORING PROCESS ON ANGIOGRAM IMAGES

摘要

Detection of blocks in vessels is the major concern in medical applications such as aneu-rysms 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 an-giogram 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.
