In this paper, we present a new approach for segmentation of tubular structures in 2D images providing minimal interaction. The main objective is to extract centerlines and bounda...

A number of geometric active contour and surface models have been proposed for shape segmentation in the literature. The essential idea is to evolve a curve (in 2D) or a surface (i...
In this paper we propose a Particle Filter-based propagation approach for the segmentation of vascular structures in 3D volumes. Because of pathologies and inhomogeneities, many de...
In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for the automatic three-dimensional segmentation of coronary arteries using multi-scale vessel filtering and a Bayesian probabilistic ...

− A new type of actuator is presented where Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires are embedded within artificial “blood vessels.” Fluid flowing through vessels allows the SMA wires ...
