This study introduces a novel, simultaneous trace-based method for extracting vessel axes from angiograms. It enhances accuracy by avoiding U-turns and discontinuity, even in complex vascular regions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Analysis
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Accurate extraction of vessel axes from angiograms is crucial for diagnosing vascular diseases.
  • Existing trace-based methods often struggle with complex vascular structures, leading to discontinuities and errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, segmentation-free trace-based method for robust vessel axis extraction from grayscale angiograms.
  • To improve the continuity and accuracy of vessel axis tracing, particularly in challenging regions.

Main Methods:

  • A novel trace-based approach utilizing an optimization framework with bounded spherical projection images.
  • Simultaneous determination of axial points and tangents, avoiding iterative searching.
  • Inclusion of interactive user guidance for enhanced tracing through complex vascular anatomies.
