Heart Atherosclerosis Segmentation Using RWPSO Algorithm
G. Savitha, R. Shobarani
Abstract
Heart Atherosclerosis disease is one of the world's most critical health issues today. We can detect arterial stenosis
and plaque, which are the major causes of this condition, by segmenting and analysing coronary arteries in medical
imaging. Manually segmenting coronary arteries is time-consuming and subjective, and most segmentation methods
need a suitable starting point, which is challenging to achieve using 3D coronary computed tomography angiography
(CTA) data. Medical image segmentation is critical in one of the most difficult sectors of engineering. An imaging
modality gives comprehensive anatomical information. It also aids in the detection of the disease and its gradual
therapy. In this paper, we used RWPSO (Random Walk Particle Swarm Optimization) segmentation method by
combining Random Walk and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. By using RWPSO segmentation on medical
images we get better Accuracy for Heart Atherosclerosis detection than existing methods
