MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD FOR A BLOOD VESSEL BASED ON AN IMAGE FUSION METHOD CAPABLE OF PRECISELY ANALYZING A DISEASE DUE TO A BLOOD VESSEL

摘要

PURPOSE: A medical image processing method for a blood vessel based on an image fusion method is provided to obtain a plurality of clear blood vessel images from one blood vessel image using various image fusion methods.;CONSTITUTION: An original blood vessel image is filtered by a Garbor filter. An edge about the original blood vessel image and a brightness change between a blood vessel and a non blood vessel portion of the filtered blood vessel image is detected. The original blood vessel image and the edge-detected blood vessel image are fused each other. After the filtered blood vessel image is fused with the edge-detected blood vessel image, a weight value is determined using a neural network. A blood vessel image becomes clear by fusing the two images.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
