Automatic segmentation of coronary lumen and external elastic membrane in intravascular ultrasound images using 8-layer U-Net
Abstract Background Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the golden standard in accessing the coronary lesions, stenosis, and atherosclerosis plaques. In this paper, a fully automatic approach by an 8-layer U-Net is developed to segment the coronary artery lumen and the area bounded by external elasti...
