Vascular Models: From Raw Data to Geometric Models
Allen R. Sanderson, Elaine Cohen, Thomas C. Henderson, Dennis L. Parker · 1994
In the areas of MR and X-ray vascular imaging, it is becoming increasingly important for researchers and clinicians to have computer analysis tools available not only for data visualization but also for extracting quantitative information. This information includes geometrical and physical characteristics which can be used in both a research and clinical setting. Although there has been a significant effort to improve visualization techniques such as maximum intensity projection [1], [2], very little progress had been made beyond making diametrical measurements and tracking vessels in 2-D and 3-D angiograms [3], [4].
