                         pre to post-treatment using digital image analysis techniques. 
                         First both images are geometrically transformed and color space 
                         reduced, in order to make them suitable for processing. Next, the 
                         varicose veins are segmented via watershed transform and the 
                         varicose areas in both images are detected. Finally, the 
                         assessment degreeing is done. The method was applied to twenty 
                         patients and the results were very consistent, according to the 
                         analysis of six vascular specialists.",
