Key result
A computer method for the detection and quantification of atherosclerosis from angiograms was developed to measure individual lesions and overall arterial irregularity.
A developed computer method allows for the automated quantification of atherosclerosis and lesion changes from various types of angiographic images.

Computer-assisted quantification enables lesion tracking in angiographic trials; extends methods but leaves intravenous validation open.
A computer method for detection and quantification of atherosclerosis from angiograms has been developed and used to measure lesion change in human clinical trials. The technique involves tracking the vessel edges and measuring individual lesions as well as the overall irregularity of the arterial image. Application of the technique to conventional arterial-injection femoral and coronary angiograms is outlined and an experimental study to extend the technique to analysis of intravenous angiograms of the carotid and cornary arteries is described.
