A SYSTEM FOR UNIFIED DIAGNOSIS AND ANALYSIS OF THALLIUM SCAN AND CT ANGIOGRAPHY

Abstract

Thallium Scan and Computed Tomographic (CT) Angiography are two major heart scans which are normally used to detect cardiac artery blockage. At the moment, two separate machines are used to acquire and analysis Thallium scan and CT images. This can lead to uncertain diagnosis of the heart disease. The proposed system designs a unified tool for accurate diagnostic of Cardio Vascular Infarction by fusing the imagery of CT Angiography and Thallium Scan. This fusion is achieved by the implementation of various image processing techniques and geometric transformation algorithms. The specialist has the right to perform this fusion separately and upload the image on the web portal. The development of a web portal provides ease to the specialist as well as the patients to view their reports online as well as access their basic information. A detailed SQL based database is developed to maintain information related to doctors, patients and medical reports. The fusion offers more visibility to cardiac specialist to identify cause of heart infarction with greater certainty.
