Ming Cheng, Xiaoyang Huang, Shaohui Huang, Boliang Wang · 2008
This paper presents a method for the extraction of tenuous vasculature in medical images. The method includes the following steps: maximum intensity projection (MIP), two-dimensional vasculature extraction, three-dimensional seed point generation, and three-dimensional vasculature extraction. The regular region growing algorithm is revised and the extraction result is improved. Little intervention is needed during the processing, except that four parameters should be designated.
