Comparative study of textural analysis techniques to characterise tissue from intravascular ultrasound

摘要: Thrombosis of coronary arteries is a condition responsible for many acute syndromes. The ability to categorise thrombus belonging distinct pathological groups, would contribute the understanding pathophysiologic structure individual lesions, as well making significant contribution treatment choice. Here, authors investigate use statistical texture analysis techniques assess 30 MHz intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) data, in raw and scan-converted form, characterise intracoronary thrombus. Three clot types were assessed study, these were, red (R), white (W) plasma (P). Histopathological analysis, de facto standard identifying tissue composition, was used form Gold Standard based upon from which results verified. show discriminate highlights advantage using data over assessing composition vitro.
