Vessel segmentation of coronary X-ray angiograms

The tagging of blood vessels from medical images is an essential step in the computer aided diagnosis of the vessels' diseases. Different approaches, such as the Frangi vesselness filtering, the seeded region growing, and the adaptive thresholding are tested in order to obtain the vessels mask from the X-ray cardiac angiograms. The spurs are cleaned with morphological operations and the final results are tested with gold standard images.
