Abstract
Recently, the arteries sclerosis obliterans (ASO) or called peripheral arterial disease (PAD) typically caused by chronic ischemia of limbs increases remarkably. As one of the diagnosis methods, the image diagnosis methods such as MR image are applied in medical fields. In this paper, we propose a vascular extraction method using fresh blood imaging (FBI) method, as well as apply it to computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system. Especially, to prevent the spread outside of the region and improve the segment accuracy of peripheral artery areas, we introduce particle filter algorithms. We performed our method on automatic artery regions detection using non-enhanced MR images. Furthermore, we compared the extracted results to gold standard data and analyzed accuracy by receiver operating characteristic (ROC). The effectiveness of our proposed method and satisfactory of its detected accuracy were confirmed.
