Liver Vessels Segmentation Using a Hybrid Geometrical Moments/Graph Cuts Method
2010
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering
Preserved Fulltext
This method represents an original way to introduce a data term as a constraint into the widely used Boykov's graph cuts algorithm and hence, to automate the segmentation. ...
The method is evaluated and compared with others on a synthetic dataset. ...
In our actual stage of research, the venous trees and the arterial tree were extracted and displayed separately but a non-rigid registration scheme permitting them to mix together, allowing a fully integrated ...

In surgical planning, vessel segmentation is often used as basis to support the surgeon in the decision about the location of the cut to be performed and the extent of the liver to be removed, respectively ...
The segmentation of the hepatic vascular tree in computed tomography (CT) images is important for many applications such as surgical planning of oncological resections and living liver donations. ...
(note that since the initial lesion segmentation is not perfectly accurate, the liver tissue class might contain also other non-vessel regions in whose separation we are not further interested in). ...

The blood flow is characterized at several scales for which different models are used. ...
For this purpose, we developed a model of dynamic transport of the contrast fluid through the hierarchies of the perfusion trees. ...
Multicompartment model of Darcy flow We approximate the flow in lower hierarchies of the arterial and venous trees, including perfusion at the level of tissue parenchyma, using a macroscopic model describing ...
