Abstract

In this paper, we describe the results of the literature re-viewfocused on the peripheral vessel segmentation in 3Dmedical datasets, acquired by Computer tomography angiography(CTA) of the human leg.The fundamental aim of such a segmentation task is arobust method for the detection of main vessels in the legthat simultaneously preserves the vessel calcification (thesediment is called plaque) and allows localization of vesselnarrowings (called stenoses). This segmentation has to befree from artifacts, i.e., without false detections of stenosesand without false omitting of any stenotic part. The papercollects seven methods applicable for vessel segmentation.
