Region-oriented segmentation of vascular structures from DSA images using mathematical morphology and binary region growing
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe a region-oriented segmentation algorithm suited for the detection and extraction of large blood vessels in angiographic images. The algorithm is based on the mathematical morphology top-hat operator followed by a binary region growing process. The combination of these two steps generates an image containing only the largest vessels regions, allowing a fully automatic segmentation without any manual interaction. We demonstrate the advantages of our approach comparing its results with those of other classical and morphological algorithms.

متن کاملSegmentation of 3D Pulmonary Trees Using Mathematical Morphology
We propose algorithms to automate the segmentation of pulmonary tree structures in the lung, using tools from Mathematical Morphology. This involves segmenting three diierent types of three-dimensional tree structures (airway tree, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein) from a stack of grayscale Computed Tomography (CT) images. The proposed algorithms rely on the grayscale reconstruction operator to...

متن کاملWatershed and multimodal data for brain vessel segmentation: Application to the superior sagittal sinus
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) provides three-dimensional data of vascular structures by visualising the flowing blood signal. Algorithms dedicated to vessel segmentation generally detect the cerebral vascular tree by only seeking this high intensity blood signal in MRA data. The method presented in this paper proposes a different strategy which consists in using both MRA and classical MR...
