Multispectral MRI centerline tracking in carotid arteries
We propose a minimum cost path approach to track the centerlines of the internal and external carotid arteries in multispectral MR data. User interaction is limited to the annotation of three seed points. The cost image is based on both a measure of vessel medialness and lumen intensity similarity in two MRA image sequences: Black Blood MRA and Phase Contrast MRA. After intensity inhomogeneity ...
متن کاملFensky, Held: Spinal Canal Centerline Extraction in Mri
The centerline of the spinal canal holds interesting information which can be used for tasks such as segmenting the spinal canal or to track the progression of spinal deformities. We propose a method that extracts the centerline of the canal by a shortest path search in 4D, whereby dimensions correspond to 3D canal location and canal width. Our method requires only minimal user interaction in t...
متن کاملEdge Based Tube Detection for Coronary Artery Centerline Extraction
The extraction of the coronary artery central lumen lines from CTA datasets is a necessary prerequisite for the computerized assessment of heart related disease. In this work, we present an automatic approach for this task that consists of generic methods for detection of tubular objects, extraction of their centerlines, grouping of the single centerlines into complete tree structures, and some...
متن کاملFlux driven automatic centerline extraction
We present a fast, robust and automatic method for computing centerline paths through tubular structures for application to virtual endoscopy. The key idea is to utilize a skeletonization algorithm which exploits properties of the average outward flux of the gradient vector field of a Euclidean distance function from the boundary of the structure. The algorithm is modified to yield a collection...
متن کاملEvaluation of Carotid Artery Segmentation with Centerline Detection and Active Contours without Edges Algorithm
The main contribution of this article is a new method of segmentation of carotid artery based on original authors inner path finding algorithm and active contours without edges segmentation method for vessels wall detection. Instead of defining new force to being minimized or intensity metric we decide to find optimal weight of image – dependent forces. This allows our method to be easily repro...
