A vessel lumen centerline extraction method is presented. Its preprocessing and initialization for the application to 3D CT angiography (CTA) image volumes are also described. This approach is based upon the theory of principal curves to finding lumen axis. Meanwhile, it also estimates the lumen local width with an 1D intensity model that depicts an ideal lumen cross-sectional profile. We teste...

Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are widespread in the water cycle. Their levels disinfected waters usually low, as they may transform into CEC disinfection byproducts (DBPs) during processes or partially removed previous treatment steps. The occurrence DBPs real has been scarcely addressed, although their presence be relevance circular economy scenarios, and thus deserves further study ...
