Abstract

In this paper, we propose a scheme that includes automated extraction of thrombus regions and quantitative analysis of thrombosis in confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) blood flow image sequence. Making thrombosis model in animal models play an important role in the development of antithrombotic drugs and ascertaining thrombosis mechanisms. Making thrombosis model in cerebral cortex of mice is usually observed using a CLSM in the fluorescence mode. However, some small changes of thrombus regions are not easily observed in CLSM blood flow image sequences. In addition, it is not easy for researchers to quantitatively analyze the degree of thrombosis. Therefore, we propose a scheme to achieve automatic thrombosis region extraction and quantitative analysis. In which, our thrombosis region extraction method uses analysis of changing pattern of thrombosis regions in CLSM blood flow image sequence. Experimental results showed that our scheme can help biological researchers observe and analyze the changes of thrombosis in animal models and reduced the use of fluorescent thrombus markers.
