Abstract

Atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the commonest diseases that is heavily hazardous to people's health. Wall motion abnormalities of L.V. due to myocardia ischeamia caused by coronary atherosclerosis is a significant feature of CHD. This paper was designed to build up a foundation for automatic detection of L.V. contours according to the features of L.V. cineangiograms, for a further study of L.V. wall motion abnormalities. An algorithm that based on morphology for L.V. contours extracting was developed in this paper. As we know morphology is a kind of technique based upon set theory and it can be used for binary image and gray image processing. The principle and the geometrical meaning of morphological boundary detecting for image were discussed in this paper, and the selection of structuring element was analyzed. Comparison was made between morphological boundary detecting and traditional boundary detecting method, conclusion that morphological boundary detecting method has better compatibility and anti-interference capability was reached.
