Generalizing vesselness with respect to dimensionality and shape
Luca Antiga · The Insight Journal · 2007
In this paper we present a generalization of Frangi’s vesselness measure for the enhacement of M-dimensional shapes in N-dimensional images, together with the implementation of the corresponding Insight Toolkit (ITK) filter . Inspired by the implementation of a multiscale vesselness measure recently presented on the Insight Journal , we also propose a unified framework for the evaluation of generic multiscale Hessian-based measures. The manuscript is accompanied by source code and examples.
