We present a novel approach to the segmentation and analysis of vasculature from volumetric medical image data. Our method is an adoption and significant extension of deformable o...
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...
We present a new fast approach for surface segmentation of thin structures, like vessels and vascular trees, based on Fast Marching and Level Sets methods. Fast Marching allows se...
Tracking of tubular elongated structures is an important goal in a wide range of biomedical imaging applications. A Bayesian tube tracking algorithm is presented that allows to eas...

This paper presents a new method to find minimal paths in 3D images, giving as initial data one or two endpoints. This is based on previous work [1] for extracting paths in 2D ima...
