Article Synopsis
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a crucial imaging technique for diagnosing coronary artery disease, but accurate segmentation of the lumen is challenging due to various image artifacts.
- The research introduces a rapid automatic segmentation method that leverages nonuniform rational B-spline to effectively outline the OCT lumen edges while minimizing noise.
- Tested on 3300 OCT frames from 10 patients, the method operates in just 0.17 seconds per frame and offers accurate lumen segmentation and vessel reconstruction, enhancing the evaluation of coronary artery morphology.
