2001
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging
Preserved Fulltext
Representing the reciprocal of this likelihood image as an array of refractive indices, we propagate a digital wave through the image from the base of the vascular tree. ...
This paper presents an approach for the extraction of vasculature from angiography images by using a wave propagation and traceback mechanism. ...
Our future work will focus on the 3D wave propagation and automated 3D traceback to extract the entire vascular tree in 3D data set. ...

While we have mainly targeted the extraction of blood vessels, neurosvascular structure in particular, we have also reviewed some of the segmentation methods for the tubular objects that show similar characteristics ...
Segmentation methods vary depending on the imaging modality, application domain, method being automatic or semi-automatic, and other specific factors. ...
Finally, the local widths of the segmented object is estimated using points on the ridges. The authors show results of a vascular tree extracted from a MR angiogram. ...

Then an iterative multiscale search based on this criterion is performed. Selected points in each step are considered as seeds for the following step. ...
Performing the process in a multiscale fashion helps extracting thin and peripheral vessels often missed by other segmentation methods. ...
The rationale for this popularity is that these methods are based on a connectivity assumption, which is naturally suited to the case of the vascular trees [47, 48] . ...
