The specific embodiment
For making purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, referring to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, the present invention is described in more detail.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of localization method of a kind of suspected blood vessel narrow area of the embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 1, the method may further comprise the steps:
Step 101 scans the examine blood vessel, and obtains the image of examine blood vessel.

Step 1021 for each cross section in the image of examine blood vessel, is obtained the position of this vessel cross-sections on the blood vessel bearing of trend.
The position of examine blood vessel initial cross sectional is 0 coordinate, and the position of other vessel cross-sections is the distance with respect to initial cross sectional.In actual applications, the initial cross sectional of examine blood vessel can be any end in the two ends of examine blood vessel.
Step 1022 is calculated the diameter of each vessel cross-sections.
Calculate the distance (for example distance is what pixels or a plurality of millimeters) of vessel cross-sections and two intersection points of blood vessel wall, get final product to get the diameter of vessel cross-sections.
Step 1023, with the position of each vessel cross-sections as the diameter of X coordinate, each vessel cross-sections as the Y coordinate, each vessel cross-sections just corresponding to a point in the X-Y coordinate system, then fits to curve with these points.
