Increasing of Edges Recognition in Cardiac Scintography for Ischemic Patients

What is it about?

The aim of this study is to increase the edge recognition in cardiac scintography images in patients with ischemic heart disease using L*a*b* color space and K-means clustering.

Why is it important?

My findings show that segmentation technique (automatic scoring) and segmented images was adjudicated by three nuclear medicine physician as being comparable to other segmentation techniques created with manual editing (subjective scoring). This technique showed potentials increasing of detection of the myocardial ischemia rather than conventional one.
