Well-Balanced System for Coronary Calcium Detection and Volume Measurement in a Low Resolution Intravascular Ultrasound Videos

Accurate and fast quantitative assessment of calcium volume is required during the planning of percutaneous coronary interventions procedures. Low resolution in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) coronary videos poses a threat to calcium detection causing over-estimation in volume measurement. We introduce a correction block that counter-balances the bias introduced during the calcium detection process.
