Fully automatic luminal contour segmentation in intracoronary ultrasound imaging-a statistical approach

In this paper, a fully automatic method for luminal contour segmentation in intracoronary ultrasound imaging is introduced. Its principle is based on a contour with a priori properties that evolves according to the statistics of the ultrasound texture brightness, which is generally Rayleigh distribu...
