Movement Tracking of Coronary Artery Segment in Angiographic Images Sequences by Template Matching Method

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 45))

Abstract

A problem of cyclic movement of measurement field (artery segment) occurs in the approaches focused on coronary flow measurement based on densitometric analysis of coronarographic images. The realized algorithm of automatic artery segment tracking based on template matching method makes possible to trace the results of automatic detection of characteristic points within the structure of arteries, correction of fault matching and incorporation of received movement trajectories for analysis of both the sequence range, where there occurs the lack of X-ray indicator within the tested artery fragment (so its not visible on the screen) and the part of myocardium, close to the characteristic point, what makes possible to the myocardium perfusion estimation on the basis of coronarographic images. Estimated error of the automatic analysis is less than 11%. Introduced system is acceptable for routine clinical testing due to short time for sequence analysis.
