Abstract The medical imaging field has grown significantly in recent years and demands high accuracy since it deals with human life. The idea is to reduce human error as much as possible by assisting physicians and radiologists with some automatic techniques. The use of artificial intelligent techniques has shown great potential in this field. Hence, in this paper the neuro fuzzy classifier is applied for the automated characterization of atheromatous plaque to identify the fibrotic, lipidic and calcified tissues in Intravascular Ultrasound images (IVUS) which is designed using sixteen inputs, corresponds to sixteen pixels of instantaneous scanning matrix, one output that tells whether the pixel under consideration is Fibrotic, Lipidic, Calcified or Normal pixel. The classification performance was evaluated in terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy and the results confirmed that the proposed system has potential in detecting the respective plaque with the average accuracy of 98.9%.

The detection of the media-adventitia (MA) border in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images is essential for vessel assessment and disease diagnosis. However, it remains a challenging task, considering the existence of plaque, calcification, and various artifacts. In this article, an effective method based on classification is proposed to extract the MA border in IVUS images. First, a novel morphologic feature describing the relative position of each structure relative to the MA border, called RPES for short, is proposed. Then, the RPES feature and other features are employed in a multiclass extreme learning machine (ELM) to classify IVUS images into nine classes including the MA border and other structures. At last, a modified snake model is employed to effectively detect the MA border in the rectangular domain, in which a modified external force field is constructed on the basis of local border appearances and classification results. The proposed method is evaluated on a public dataset with 77 IVUS images by three indicators in eight situations, such as calcification and a guide wire artifact. With the proposed RPES feature, detection performances are improved by more than 39 percent, which shows an apparent advantage in comparative experiments. Furthermore, compared with two other existing methods used on the same dataset, the proposed method achieves 18 of the best indicators among 24, demonstrating its higher capability in detecting the MA border.

Coronary angiography and Doppler flow measurements are most commonly used to assess the patency of anastomoses in the operating theater. Intravascular ultrasound might be another means of monitoring the surgical procedure during coronary artery bypass. Five sheep underwent off-pump bypass of the left anterior descending coronary artery using the left internal mammary artery. The running suture was evaluated by intraoperative fluoroscopy and a coronary intravascular ultrasound probe inserted into the target artery proximal to the anastomosis. Macroscopic examination of the anastomosis was performed to validate the angiographic and intravascular ultrasound images. The diameter, cross-sectional area, and compliance of each anastomosis were calculated in systole and diastole. All anastomoses were patent without signs of stenosis. In one case, intravascular ultrasound showed an intimal flap, which was confirmed by macroscopic examination. The mean major anastomotic diameter was 4.5 ± 0.5 mm on angiography and 4.0 ± 0.5 mm on intravascular ultrasound. From the ultrasound data, the mean cross-sectional anastomotic area was calculated as 6.21 ± 0.1 mm2 in systole and 5.49 ± 0.1 mm2 in diastole, and these data were used to calculate the cross-sectional anastomosis compliance. Coronary intravascular ultrasound can visualize intima-to-intima apposition and provide reliable calculations of anastomosis compliance.
