This paper is focused on the use of the level set formalism to segment anatomical structures in 3D images (ultrasound ou magnetic resonance images). A closed 3D surface propagates...
Abstract. Heart isolation (separating the heart from the proximity tissues, e.g., lung, liver, and rib cage) is a prerequisite to clearly visualize the coronary arteries in 3D. Suc...

Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) is a relatively new and promising technique for imaging blood vessels. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D-RA vascular segmentati...

The manual step in semi-automatic segmentation of medical volume images typically involves initialization procedures such as placement of seed-points or positioning of surface mod...
We present novel approaches for fully automated extraction of tree-like tubular structures from 3-D image stacks. A 4-D Open-Curve Active Contour (Snake) model is proposed for sim...
