Abstract: This paper proposes a method for the extraction of tenuous vasculature in medical images.The method includes the following steps:Maximum Intensity Projection(MIP),two-dimensional vasculature extraction,three-dimensional seed point generation,and three-dimensional vasculature extraction.The routine region growing algorithm is revised and the extraction result is improved.Little artificial interference is needed during the processing,except that four parameters should be designated.

Key words: medical image processing, Maximum Intensity Projection(MIP), region growing

摘要: 以肝动脉提取为例,提出一种医学图像中微细管道结构的提取算法。算法主要步骤包括:最大亮度投影、二维管道提取、三维种子点生成和三维管道提取。算法对常规的区域生长法进行改进,提取效果与常规的区域生长法相比有较大改善。算法需要的人工干预很少,只需要指定四个参数。
