Abstract:Features of calcific leaflet distribution from CT valve images may allow prediction of hemodynamic disease severity in calcific degenerative aortic valve stenosis (DAS). The proposed study describes a signal processing scheme for selecting valve areas from maximum intensity projection valve images in a cohort of 52+43 patient images, diagnosed as having severe and moderate DAS. First the valve center and perimeter are approximated by a manually determined circle of radius r and center (x,y). The circle is then… Show more
