Quantification of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images is essential in ischemic heart disease and interventional cardiology. Manual analysis is very slow and expensive. We describe an automated computerized method of analysis that requires only minimal initial input from a specialist.

    The transversal distribution of atherosclerotic plaque affects vessel remodelling in left anterior descending coronary lesions, probably because of an extravascular splinting effect. Distal lesions usually show positive remodelling regardless of transversal plaque distribution....

    The above procedure results in a 3D volume-model of the vessel, which also contains information from the IVUS modality. This data is sufficient for computer-based intravascular brachytherapy planning. CONCLUSION: The proposed methodology can be used to improve the current state-of-the-art IVB treatm...
