Loss of cerebrovascular reserve with the resultant increase of cerebral perfusion, and disruption of capillary fluid balance generally leads to the development of cerebral edema, a serious secondary complication of traumatic brain injury. Two indices of cerebrovascular reserve derived from recordings of intracranial pressure (ICP) and arterial blood pressure (ABP) have been proposed [1-3]. The ...

Cerebrovascular diseases are one of the serious causes for increase in mortality rate world which affect blood vessels and supply to brain. In order, diagnose study abnormalities cerebrovascular system, accurate segmentation methods can be used. The shape, direction distribution studied using automatic segmentation. This will help doctors envisage system. Due complex shape topology, is still a ...
