Abstract

In this paper, we present a statistical approach to aggregating shape and speed information for whole cerebrovascular tree extraction in time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA). By embedding Frangi’s vesselness measure into the prior mopodel, the newly porposede segmentation framework can greatly improve the capability of detecting the tiny vessel branch.
