Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel technology used in coronary artery disease diagnosis for its high resolution. It has numerous advantages in 3D vessel modeling and vulnerable plaque quantification. This paper proposes a robust vessel intimal extraction algorithm using active contours. A...
