(57) ABSTRACT A method is disclosed for segmentation of a calcified blood vessel in image
data. An embodiment of the method includes providing a vesseltree representation of the …

An approach to 3-D vessel axis tracking based on surface evolution is presented. The main
idea is to guide the evolution of the surface by analyzing its skeleton topology during …

This paper presents a vessel segmentation method which learns the geometry and
appearance of vessels in medical images from annotated data and uses this knowledge to …

This paper presents a novel method for segmenting the coronary lumen in CTA data. The
method is based on graph cuts, with edge-weights depending on the intensity of the …

Coronary plaque burden measured by coronary computerized tomography angiography
(CCTA), independent of stenosis, is a significant independent predictor of coronary heart …
