Abstract
The Percutaneous Coronary intervention is a typical way of testing which could be performance to treat a stenosed region by inserting a stent using catheter. In this case, choosing the best stent amongst various kinds of stent for performing an intervention is the most difficult process. For the reason, a width of the blood vessel which is stenosed must be correctly measured to help an operator choose right size of stent. So based on pixel, a width of the blood vessel measured by using the way of Euclidean distance after designing a center-line of vessel from a certain point assigned by operator is shown as a profile in this study. This study would be used as a goof reference for operators when choosing right size of stent.
