✦ Synopsis

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is a diagnostic imaging technique that provides tomographic visualization of coronary arteries. The aim of this study was to evaluate five texture analysis techniques and determine their ability to distinguish between plaque lesions of different composition. Using histological correlation, regions of calcified, fibrous, and necrotic core plaque were chosen from 27 coronary plaques. First-order statistics, Haralick's method, Laws' texture energy method, the neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix method, and texture spectrum features were examined using discriminant analysis. Self-validation indicated that Haralick's method yielded the most accurate results, with resubstitution and cross-validation error rates of 0.00 and 14.76%, respectively. Further optimization gave error rates of 6.67%, using only two discriminating features, IDM and entropy.
