Abstract

Intravascular Ultrasound(IVUS) is an imaging technology which provides cross-sectional images of internal coronary vessel struc- tures. The IVUS frames are acquired by pulling the catheter back with a motor running at a constant speed. However, during the pullback, some artifacts occur due to the beating heart. These artifacts cause inaccu- rate measurements for total vessel and lumen volume and limitation for further processing. Elimination of these artifacts are possible with an ECG (electrocardiogram) signal, which determines the time interval cor- responding to a particular phase of the cardiac cycle. However, using ECG signal requires a special gating unit, which causes loss of impor- tant information about the vessel, and furthermore, ECG gating function may not be available in all clinical systems. To address this problem, we propose an image-based gating technique based on manifold learning. Quantitative tests are performed on 3 different patients, 6 different pull- backs and 24 different vessel cuts. In order to validate our method, the results of our method are compared to those of ECG-Gating method.
