Abstract
An angiographic image processing system includes a filtering module (40) configured to filter an angiographic image based on blood vessel diameter (46) to identify neovasculature having small blood vessel diameter, and a display sub-system (32, 70) configured to display the angiographic image with the identified neovasculature. A neovasculature density computation module (72) is configured to compute density of the neovasculature identified by the filtering module (40).
Claims22
A method for imaging neovasculature, the method comprising:
- acquiring an angiographic image;
- filtering the angiographic image based on blood vessel diameter to identify vasculature having small blood vessel diameter as neovasculature;
- and
- displaying the angiographic image with the identified neovasculature.
An angiographic image processing system comprising:
- a filtering module configured to filter an angiographic image based on blood vessel diameter to identify neovasculature having small blood vessel diameter;
- and
- a display sub-system configured to display the angiographic image with the identified neovasculature.
A storage medium storing instructions executable by a digital processor to perform an angiographic image processing method including filtering an angiographic image based on blood vessel diameter to identify neovasculature having small blood vessel diameter and computing a density of the identified neovasculature.
