Abstract:

In this paper, a framework for the inflation of micro-CT data using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images, is presented. The proposed methodology consists of four steps. In the first step a centerline is extracted from the micro-CT images. In the second step the micro CT images are segmented automatically using the k-means algorithm. In the third step IVUS- micro-CT images are co-registered based on fiducial markers selected manually by the experts. Finally, the images are inflated by applying a transformation method on each image. The transformation method is based on the IVUS and micro-CT contour difference. The proposed methodology for inflating micro-CT images could increase the reliability of correct plaque labeling process as well to enhance the accuracy of the produced training dataset from the micro-CT images.
