Blood vessel segmentation in angiogram using neural network
ABSTRACT
Angiography is a widely used procedure for blood vessel observation to measure the angiogram area covered by vessels. for the subsequent analysis of the vasculature we need vessel enhancement and segmentation. this paper deals with a neural-network classifier which is used for detecting vascular structures in angiograms. the n-n classifier consisted of a multilayer feed-forward network which is trained by using the back-propagation algorithm. based on this, the image segmentation problem such as the classification performance is explained.
