Abstract :
The principles of the fractal geometry are applied for simulated and real images of the vessels. The final goal is to prove the utility of these techniques to diagnose some important vascular diseases such as the stenos is and the arterio-venous malformations from the X-ray angiography. The computation of the fractal dimension based on Box-Counting method is worthy from the point of view of differentiation the healthy tissues from the diseases ones and needs further investigation using the fractal theory.
