Rahul Lanjewar, Kiran Barapatre, Mayur Petkar, Prasad Pande

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a medical imaging technique used to see the blood vessels out through the surrounding blood column by visualizing the blood vessels in individuals to determine the amount of accumulation of degenerative material built up at in the epicardial coronary artery which cannot be vizualized by Angiography. IVUS not only enables to visualize the lumen of the coronary arteries but also blood cells "hidden" within the wall. This paper reviews the contour detection in which various features of an image in the form of intensity and the contour detection techniques have been discussed with implementation level.
