Abstract:
An angiogram is an X-ray image that uses fluoroscopy
to take pictures of the blood flow within an artery. Due to the overlap
of non-vascular structures, the small vessels with low contrast are hardly
visible. Pseudo-color processing is an enhancement technique that accentuates
certain features that are essential for a given application but hidden
with low contrast otherwise. We applied pseudo color to an angiogram image
on the basis of scale. Vessels are colored in such away that they are
differentiated well. Further, we have enhanced the images by applying
transparent colors to the images.
