Abstract |
|
The challenging image method is to view patient with high-risk vulnerable plaque. To identify intraplaque haemorrhage, vasa vasorum and luminal thrombi rupture. Many non-stenotic lesions undergo "expansion", and it leads to myocardial infarction (heart attack). Hence, we investigate the proposed technique for coronary atherosclerosis to develop an effective image segmentation method such as extraction of aterial lumen in centreline, segmentation of the lumen & wall. Using CT angiographic image Morphological operators such as dilation and erosion takes out the unwanted background. The physical properties such as the fluid flow rate, coronary wall shear stress, thickness, type of plaque identified using COMSOL/MATLAB. Finally, results assist the risk factors of a heart attack at various stages. |
