Adaptive Ridge Point Refinement for Seeds Detection in X-Ray Coronary Angiogram

Seed point is prerequired condition for tracking based method for extracting centerline or vascular structures from the angiogram. In this paper, a novel seed point detection method for coronary artery segmentation is proposed. Vessels on the image are first enhanced according to the distribution of...
