Enhancing coronary arteries through 2D Gaussian matched filtering with multi-directional filtering for superior image improvement results
Detailed Documentation
We can enhance coronary arteries by implementing 2D Gaussian matched filters. This filtering approach processes images from multiple orientations using directional kernels, significantly improving enhancement quality. The method employs rotated Gaussian profiles that match vessel cross-sections, typically implemented through kernel convolution with directional parameterization. By applying filters at various angles (e.g., 0°, 30°, 60°, etc.) and combining responses using maximum intensity projection, coronary arteries become more visibly distinct in medical images. This enhancement technique facilitates clearer vessel segmentation and aids physicians in making accurate diagnostic assessments and treatment decisions.
