Lumen boundary detection in IVUS medical imaging using structured element

The lumen boundary in the human coronary artery is the contour edge of a blood vessel. The intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the medical imaging modality used to view the lumen boundary by the clinicians to detect the coronary artery disease called atherosclerosis. The main problem is to differenti...
