Problem Statement • Automatic segmentation of different layers of a vessel to study characteristics of plaques and vessels • Lumen/Intima border • Media/Adventia border
Significance • Manual segmentation of even one frame is time consuming • IVUS sequence consists of thousands of frames
Challenges: Low Contrast Lumen Media Adventia
Challenges: Image Appearance Images acquired with 20MHz and 40MHz catheter frequency
Challenges: Image Appearance (2) Same image with different transformation parameters
Challenges: Artifacts • Ringdown artifact • Guidewire artifact • Acoustic Shadowing
Literature Review • Image-based methods • Sonkaet al. , Birgelenet al. , Zhang et al. (intensity and gradient information combined with Computational methods ) • Haas et al. , Luoet al. , Hui-Zhu et al. , Cardinal et al. , dos Santos Filhoet al. (texture, statistical, temporal properties of images) • RF-based methods • Nair et al. , Nasu et al. , Kawasaki et al. , O’ Malley et al. , Mendizabal-Ruiz et al.
Limitations • Image-based methods rely on image properties • Image appearance • artifacts • No way to correct the segmentation result • Difficult to create a training set that can include all variations
Active learning method Segmentation Algorithm Preliminary Result User Interaction Update Segmentation Parameters Confidence Measure Final Result
