  • Abstract
    To detect congestive left heart failure radiologists must evaluate the diameter of blood vessels on chest radiographs. An automatic digital method to detect the vessels and to measure their diameter is presented in this paper. The vessels are detected by searching the areas which are conform to an ideal vessel model. Then the false vessels detected are eliminated.
