Automatic Plaque Boundary Extraction in Intravascular Ultrasound Image by Fuzzy Inference with Adaptively Allocated Membership Functions

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 5507))

Abstract

This paper describes an automatic plaque boundary extraction in the intravascular ultrasound image by a fuzzy inference. In the proposed method, the membership functions in the antecedent parts of the fuzzy rules are adaptively allocated by using the information of the seed points given by a medical doctor. The present method not only improved the accuracy of plaque boundary extraction but also reduced the workload of medical doctors.
