In this paper we present a new interactive method for tubular structure extraction. The main application and motivation for this work is vessel tracking in 3D medical images. The ...
Calcified coronary arteries can cause severe cardiac problems and may provoke an infarction of the heart’s wall. An established treatment method is the bypass operation. The usa...
This paper introduces a new technique to detect the coronary arteries as well as other heart's peripheral vessels. After finding the location of the myocardium through a graph...

Abstract. Integration of magnetic resonance (MR) and positron emission tomography (PET) images of the heart has proved its usefulness for the estimation of the myocardial viability...
We present a new approach for the coarse segmentation of tubular structures in 3D image data. Our algorithm, which requires only few initial values and minimal user interaction, c...
