Automatic tracking of vessel-like structures from a single starting point
The identification of vascular networks is an important topic in the medical image analysis community. While most methods focus on single vessel tracking, the few solutions that exist for tracking complete vascular networks are usually computationally intensive and require a lot of user interaction. In this paper we present a method to track full vascular networks iteratively using a single sta...
متن کاملAutomatic Extraction of Graph-Like Structures from Binary Images
The paper describes a method for the analysis of the content of a binary image in order to find its structure. The class of images it deals with consists of images showing a groups of objects connected one to another forming a graph-like structure. Proposed method extracts automatically this structure from image bitmap and produces graph adjacency matrix describing it. The method is based on mo...
متن کاملMultiple hypothesis template tracking of small 3D vessel structures
A multiple hypothesis tracking approach to the segmentation of small 3D vessel structures is presented. By simultaneously tracking multiple hypothetical vessel trajectories, low contrast passages can be traversed, leading to an improved tracking performance in areas of low contrast. This work also contributes a novel mathematical vessel template model, with which an accurate vessel centerline e...
متن کاملFully-Automatic Branch Labelling of Voxel Vessel Structures
Today, it is possible to acquire volume representations of the vessel structures in the brain. The selfadjusting probe, a new tool introduced in a previous paper, enables semi-automatic shape extraction. The self-adjusting probe extracts shapes from a surface model. Yet, if two vessel branches are close together, it is possible that surface vertices of a neighbor vessel are included in the set ...
متن کاملAutomatic Peripheral Vessel Tracking in 3D Contrast-enhanced MR Angiography
Introduction Three dimensional Contrast-enhanced MR Angiography (3D CE-MRA) has become an accepted technique for vascular imaging particularly in the abdomen, thorax and extremities. This technique can provide 3D angiograms of excellent contrast and minimize flow-related artifacts. However, quantitative 3D morphological information on vessels cannot be easily obtained by simple visualization to...
