Automated classification of dense calcium tissues in gray-scale intravascular ultrasound images using a deep belief network
Abstract Background IVUS is widely used to quantitatively assess coronary artery disease. The purpose of this study was to automatically characterize dense calcium (DC) tissue in the gray scale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images using the image textural features. Methods A total of 316 Gy-scale...
